TwoParticleAverageSite

class simtk.openmm.openmm.TwoParticleAverageSite(*args)

This is a VirtualSite that computes the particle location as a weighted average of two other particle’s locations. Assuming the weights add up to 1, this means the virtual site is on the line passing through the two particles.

__init__(self, particle1, particle2, weight1, weight2) → TwoParticleAverageSite

__init__(self, other) -> TwoParticleAverageSite

Create a new TwoParticleAverageSite virtual site. Normally weight1 and weight2 should add up to 1, although this is not strictly required.

Parameters:

• particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle
• particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle
• weight1 (double) – the weight factor (between 0 and 1) for the first particle
• weight2 (double) – the weight factor (between 0 and 1) for the second particle

Methods

__init__((self, particle1, particle2, ...)	__init__(self, other) -> TwoParticleAverageSite

getParticle((self, particle) -> int)	Get the index of a particle this virtual site depends on.
getWeight((self, particle) -> double)	Get the weight factor used for a particle this virtual site depends on.
