# CMAPTorsionForce¶

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

This class implements an interaction between pairs of dihedral angles. The interaction energy is defined by an “energy correction map” (CMAP), which is simply a set of tabulated energy values on a regular grid of (phi, psi) angles. Natural cubic spline interpolation is used to compute forces and energies at arbitrary values of the two angles.

To use this class, first create one or more energy correction maps by calling addMap(). For each one, you provide an array of energies at uniformly spaced values of the two angles. Next, add interactions by calling addTorsion(). For each one, you specify the sequence of particles used to calculate each of the two dihedral angles, and the index of the map used to calculate their interaction energy.

updateParametersInContext(self, context)

Update the map and torsion 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 setMapParameters() and setTorsionParameters() to modify this object’s parameters, then call updateParametersInContext() to copy them over to the Context.

The only information that can be updated with this method is the energy values for a map, and the map index for a torsion. The size of a map and the set of particles involved in a torsion cannot be changed. Also, new bonds and torsions cannot be added.

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 bool
__copy__(self) → Force
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).
