fix multisphere/break command

Syntax:

fix ID group-ID multisphere/break keyword value ... 

Examples:

fix integr grpMulti multisphere/break allow_group_and_set yes trigger_threshold 0.1 trigger_timeStep 0 trigger_fixName resTimeMill

Description:

The integration that is performed by this command is euqivalent to fix_multisphere. However, the user can trigger breakage events, which will destroy the "body" the atoms are in. The trigger is imiplemented such that in case the trigger value of one atom in a body exceeds the threshold value, the whole body will break. There are no fragments: all atoms that constitutea body will be released upon breakage.

WARNING: the atoms in a body MUST NOT overlap, since the atoms are simply released from the body without adjusting their size or their position.
