# compute edpd/temp/atom command

## Syntax

``` LAMMPS
compute ID group-ID edpd/temp/atom
```

-   ID, group-ID are documented in [compute](compute) command
-   edpd/temp/atom = style name of this compute command

## Examples

``` LAMMPS
compute 1 all edpd/temp/atom
```

## Description

Define a computation that calculates the per-atom temperature for each
eDPD particle in a group.

The temperature is a local temperature derived from the internal energy
of each eDPD particle based on the local equilibrium hypothesis. For
more details please see [(Espanol1997)](Espanol1997) and
[(Li2014)](Li2014a).

## Output info

This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by any
command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See the
[Howto output](Howto_output) page for an overview of LAMMPS output
options.

The per-atom vector values will be in temperature [units](units).

## Restrictions

This compute is part of the DPD-MESO package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the [Build
package](Build_package) page for more info.
