This class implements interactions between sets of four particles that depend on the torsion angle between them.
Unlike PeriodicTorsionForce, the functional form of the interaction is completely customizable, and may involve arbitrary algebraic expressions. In addition to the angle formed by the particles, it may depend on arbitrary global and per-torsion parameters.
To use this class, create a CustomTorsionForce object, passing an algebraic expression to the constructor that defines the interaction energy between each set of particles. The expression may depend on theta, the torsion angle formed by the particles, as well as on any parameters you choose. Then call addPerTorsionParameter() to define per-torsion parameters, and addGlobalParameter() to define global parameters. The values of per-torsion 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 addTorsion() once for each torsion. After an torsion has been added, you can modify its parameters by calling setTorsionParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().
As an example, the following code creates a CustomTorsionForce that implements a harmonic potential:
CustomTorsionForce* force = new CustomTorsionForce("0.5*k*(theta-theta0)^2");
This force depends on two parameters: the spring constant k and equilibrium angle theta0. The following code defines these parameters:
force->addPerTorsionParameter("k"); force->addPerTorsionParameter("theta0");
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-torsion 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 setTorsionParameters() 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-torsion 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 torsion cannot be changed, nor can new torsions be added.
