AmoebaWcaDispersionForce

class openmm.openmm.AmoebaWcaDispersionForce(*args)

This class implements a nonbonded interaction between pairs of particles typically used along with AmoebaGeneralizedKirkwoodForce as part of an implicit solvent model.

To use it, create an AmoebaWcaDispersionForce object then call addParticle() once for each particle. After a particle has been added, you can modify its force field parameters by calling setParticleParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().

getNumParticles(self) → int

Get the number of particles

setParticleParameters(self, particleIndex, radius, epsilon)

Set the force field parameters for a WCA dispersion particle.

Parameters

• particleIndex (int) – the particle index

• radius (double) – radius

• epsilon (double) – epsilon

getParticleParameters(self, particleIndex)

Get the force field parameters for a WCA dispersion particle.

Parameters

particleIndex (int) – the particle index

Returns

• radius (double) – radius

• epsilon (double) – epsilon

addParticle(self, radius, epsilon) → int

Set the force field parameters for a WCA dispersion particle.

Parameters

• radius (double) – radius

• epsilon (double) – epsilon

Returns

index of added particle

Return type

int

updateParametersInContext(self, context)

Update the per-particle 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 setParticleParameters() 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-particle parameters. All other aspects of the Force are unaffected and can only be changed by reinitializing the Context.

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

__copy__(self) → Force

getForceGroup(self) → int

Get the force group this Force belongs to.

getName(self) → std::string const &

Get the name of this Force. This is an arbitrary, user modifiable identifier. By default it equals the class name, but you can change it to anything useful.

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).

setName(self, name)

Set the name of this Force. This is an arbitrary, user modifiable identifier. By default it equals the class name, but you can change it to anything useful.
