This class implements bonded interactions between pairs of particles.
Unlike HarmonicBondForce, the functional form of the interaction is completely customizable, and may involve arbitrary algebraic expressions. It may depend on the distance between particles, as well as on arbitrary global and per-bond parameters.
To use this class, create a CustomBondForce object, passing an algebraic expression to the constructor that defines the interaction energy between each pair of bonded particles. The expression may depend on r, the distance between the particles, as well as on any parameters you choose. Then call addPerBondParameter() to define per-bond parameters, and addGlobalParameter() to define global parameters. The values of per-bond 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 addBond() once for each bond. After a bond has been added, you can modify its parameters by calling setBondParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().
As an example, the following code creates a CustomBondForce that implements a harmonic potential:
CustomBondForce* force = new CustomBondForce("0.5*k*(r-r0)^2");
This force depends on two parameters: the spring constant k and equilibrium distance r0. The following code defines these parameters:
force->addPerBondParameter("k"); force->addPerBondParameter("r0");
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, floor, ceil, step, delta, select. 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. select(x,y,z) = z if x = 0, y otherwise.

def updateParametersInContext | ( | self, | |
context | |||
) |
Update the per-bond 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 setBondParameters() to modify this object's parameters, then call updateParametersInContext() to copy them over to the Context.
This method has several limitations. The only information it updates is the values of per-bond parameters. All other aspects of the Force (such as the energy function) are unaffected and can only be changed by reinitializing the Context. The set of particles involved in a bond cannot be changed, nor can new bonds be added.

usesPeriodicBoundaryConditions(self) -> bool
Returns whether or not this force makes use of periodic boundary conditions.
