AmoebaTorsionTorsionForce

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

This class implements the Amoeba torsion-torsion interaction.

To use it, create an AmoebaTorsionTorsionForce object then call addTorsionTorsion() once for each torsion-torsion. After a torsion-torsion has been added, you can modify its force field parameters by calling setTorsionTorsionParameters().

getTorsionTorsionGrid(self, index) → vectorddd

Get the torsion-torsion grid at the specified index

Parameters:index (int) – the grid index
Returns:vector< std – grid return grid reference
Return type::vector< std::vector< double > > >
setTorsionTorsionGrid(self, index, grid)

Set the torsion-torsion grid at the specified index

Parameters:
  • index (int) – the index of the torsion-torsion for which to get parameters
  • grid (vector< std::vector< std::vector< double > > >) – either 3 or 6 values may be specified per grid point. If the derivatives are omitted, they are calculated automatically by fitting a 2D spline to the energies. grid[x][y][0] = x value grid[x][y][1] = y value grid[x][y][2] = energy grid[x][y][3] = dEdx value grid[x][y][4] = dEdy value grid[x][y][5] = dEd(xy) value
setUsesPeriodicBoundaryConditions(self, periodic)

Set whether this force should apply periodic boundary conditions when calculating displacements. Usually this is not appropriate for bonded forces, but there are situations when it can be useful.

usesPeriodicBoundaryConditions(self) → bool

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

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