## Option: remove-shells

#### Syntax

`-remove-shells <species>`

`-rmshells <species>`

#### Description

This option removes shells (in the sense of an ionic core-shell model) of the given species. If <species> is set to "all" or "any" then all shells are removed.

If a selection was defined (with the option `-select`) then shells are removed only from selected atoms.

#### Default

By default no shell is removed.

#### Examples

- `atomsk initial.gin -remove-shells Ti final.gin`

  This will read the GULP file `initial.gin`, remove shells from titanium ions, and output the result to `final.gin`.

- `atomsk REVCON -rmshells all final.gin`

  This will remove all shells.
