AmoebaOutOfPlaneBendForce¶

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

This class implements the Amoeba out-of-plane bend interaction.

To use it, create an OutOfPlaneBendForce object then call addOutOfPlaneBend() once for each outOfPlaneBend. After an out-of-plane bend has been added, you can modify its force field parameters by calling setOutOfPlaneBendParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().

Returns:	global penticK term
Return type:	double

setAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendSextic(self, sexticK)¶

Return type:	double

addOutOfPlaneBend(self, particle1, particle2, particle3, particle4, k) → int¶

Add an out-of-plane bend term to the force field.

Parameters:	particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend
Returns:	the index of the out-of-plane bend that was added
Return type:	int

getOutOfPlaneBendParameters(self, index)¶

Get the force field parameters for an out-of-plane bend term.

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

Returns:

particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend

setOutOfPlaneBendParameters(self, index, particle1, particle2, particle3, particle4, k)¶

Set the force field parameters for an out-of-plane bend term.

Parameters:

index (int) – the index of the outOfPlaneBend for which to set parameters
particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend
k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend

updateParametersInContext(self, context)¶

Update the per-bend term 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 setOutOfPlaneBendParameters() 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-bend term parameters. The set of particles involved in a term cannot be changed, nor can new terms 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

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

__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.

Parameters:	group (int) – the group index. Legal values are between 0 and 31 (inclusive).
