AMDForceGroupIntegrator
(dt, group, alphaGroup, EGroup)¶ AMDForceGroupIntegrator implements a single boost aMD integration algorithm.
This is similar to AMDIntegrator, but is applied based on the energy of a single force group (typically representing torsions).
For details, see Hamelberg et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 155102 (2007).

-
setRandomNumberSeed
(self, seed)¶ Set the random number seed. The precise meaning of this parameter is undefined, and is left up to each Platform to interpret in an appropriate way. It is guaranteed that if two simulations are run with different random number seeds, the sequence of random numbers will be different. On the other hand, no guarantees are made about the behavior of simulations that use the same seed. In particular, Platforms are permitted to use non-deterministic algorithms which produce different results on successive runs, even if those runs were initialized identically.
If seed is set to 0 (which is the default value assigned), a unique seed is chosen when a Context is created from this Force. This is done to ensure that each Context receives unique random seeds without you needing to set them explicitly.
-
setStepSize
(self, size)¶ Set the size of each time step, in picoseconds. If this integrator uses variable time steps, the effect of calling this method is undefined, and it may simply be ignored.
Parameters: size (double) – the step size, measured in ps
