This class implements an "external" force on particles.
The force may be applied to any subset of the particles in the System. The force on each particle is specified by an arbitrary algebraic expression, which may depend on the current position of the particle as well as on arbitrary global and per-particle parameters.
To use this class, create a CustomExternalForce object, passing an algebraic expression to the constructor that defines the potential energy of each affected particle. The expression may depend on the particle's x, y, and z coordinates, as well as on any parameters you choose. Then call addPerParticleParameter() to define per-particle parameters, and addGlobalParameter() to define global parameters. The values of per-particle parameters are specified as part of the system definition, while values of global parameters may be modified during a simulation by calling Context::setParameter(). Finally, call addParticle() once for each particle that should be affected by the force. After a particle has been added, you can modify its parameters by calling setParticleParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().
As an example, the following code creates a CustomExternalForce that attracts each particle to a target position (x0, y0, z0) via a harmonic potential:
CustomExternalForce* force = new CustomExternalForce("k*((x-x0)^2+(y-y0)^2+(z-z0)^2)");
This force depends on four parameters: the spring constant k and equilibrium coordinates x0, y0, and z0. The following code defines these parameters:
force->addGlobalParameter("k", 100.0); force->addPerParticleParameter("x0"); force->addPerParticleParameter("y0"); force->addPerParticleParameter("z0");
Expressions may involve the operators + (add), - (subtract), * (multiply), / (divide), and ^ (power), and the following functions: sqrt, exp, log, sin, cos, sec, csc, tan, cot, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh, erf, erfc, min, max, abs, step, delta. All trigonometric functions are defined in radians, and log is the natural logarithm. step(x) = 0 if x is less than 0, 1 otherwise. delta(x) = 1 if x is 0, 0 otherwise.

def updateParametersInContext | ( | self, | |
args | |||
) |
updateParametersInContext(CustomExternalForce self, Context context)
Update the per-particle parameters in a Context to match those stored in this Force object. This method provides an efficient method to update certain parameters in an existing Context without needing to reinitialize it. Simply call setParticleParameters() to modify this object's parameters, then call updateParametersInState() to copy them over to the Context.
This method has several limitations. The only information it updates is the values of per-particle parameters. All other aspects of the Force (such as the energy function) are unaffected and can only be changed by reinitializing the Context. Also, this method cannot be used to add new particles, only to change the parameters of existing ones.
