AmoebaInPlaneAngleForce¶

class simtk.openmm.openmm.AmoebaInPlaneAngleForce(*args)¶

This class implements an interaction at trigonal centers corresponding to the projected in-plane angle bend energy between four particles. The interaction is defined by a 6th order polynomial in the angle between them. Only the quadratic term is set per-angle. The coefficients of the higher order terms each have a single value that is set globally.

To use it, create an AmoebaInPlaneAngleForce object then call addAngle() once for each angle. After an angle has been added, you can modify its force field parameters by calling setAngleParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().

Returns:	the index of the angle that was added
Return type:	int

getAngleParameters(self, index)¶

Get the force field parameters for an angle term.

Parameters: index (int) – the index of the angle for which to get parameters

Returns:

particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the angle
particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the angle
particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the angle
particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the angle
length (double) – the equilibrium angle, measured in radians
quadraticK (double) – the quadratic force constant for the angle measured in kJ/mol/radian^2

setAngleParameters(self, index, particle1, particle2, particle3, particle4, length, quadraticK)¶

Set the force field parameters for an angle term.

Parameters:

index (int) – the index of the angle for which to set parameters
particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the angle
particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the angle

quadraticK (double) – the quadratic force constant for the angle, measured in kJ/mol/radian^2

updateParametersInContext(self, context)¶

Update the per-angle 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 setAngleParameters() to modify this object’s parameters, then call updateParametersInContext() to copy them over to the Context.

The only information this method updates is the values of per-angle parameters. The set of particles involved in an angle cannot be changed, nor can new angles be added.

usesPeriodicBoundaryConditions(self) → bool¶

Returns whether or not this force makes use of periodic boundary conditions.

Returns:	true if nonbondedMethod uses PBC and false otherwise
Return type:	bool

__format__()¶: default object formatter

__getattribute__¶: x.__getattribute__(‘name’) <==> x.name

__hash__¶

__reduce__()¶: helper for pickle

__reduce_ex__()¶: helper for pickle

__sizeof__() → int¶: size of object in memory, in bytes

__str__¶

getForceGroup(self) → int¶: Get the force group this Force belongs to.

setForceGroup(self, group)¶

Set the force group this Force belongs to.
