# fix_modify AtC consistent_fe_initialization command

## Syntax

    fix_modify <AtC fixID> consistent_fe_initialization <on|off>

-   AtC fixID = ID of [fix atc](fix_atc) instance
-   consistent_fe_initialization = name of the AtC sub-command
-   *on* or *off* = switch to activate/deactivate the initial setting of
    the FE intrinsic field to match the projected MD field

## Examples

``` LAMMPS
fix_modify AtC consistent_fe_initialization on
```

## Description

Determines whether AtC initializes FE intrinsic fields (e.g.,
temperature) to match the projected MD values. This is particularly
useful for fully overlapping simulations.

## Restrictions

Can be used with: *thermal*, *two_temperature*. Cannot be used with time
filtering on. Does not include boundary nodes.
