# AmoebaOutOfPlaneBendForce¶

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

This class implements the Amoeba out-of-plane bend interaction.

To use it, create an OutOfPlaneBendForce object then call addOutOfPlaneBend() once for each outOfPlaneBend. After an out-of-plane bend has been added, you can modify its force field parameters by calling setOutOfPlaneBendParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().

__init__(self) → AmoebaOutOfPlaneBendForce

__init__(self, other) -> AmoebaOutOfPlaneBendForce

Create an AmoebaOutOfPlaneBendForce.

getNumOutOfPlaneBends(self) → int

setAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendQuartic(self, quarticK)

Set the global cubic term

Parameters: quarticK (double) – the quartic force constant for the angle
getAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendQuartic(self) → double

Get the global quartic term

Returns: global quartic term double
setAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendPentic(self, penticK)

Set the global pentic term

Parameters: penticK (double) – the pentic force constant for the angle
getAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendPentic(self) → double

Get the global pentic term

Returns: global penticK term double
setAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendSextic(self, sexticK)

Set the global sextic term

Parameters: sexticK (double) – the sextic force constant for the angle
getAmoebaGlobalOutOfPlaneBendSextic(self) → double

Get the global sextic term

Returns: global sexticK term double
addOutOfPlaneBend(self, particle1, particle2, particle3, particle4, k) → int

Add an out-of-plane bend term to the force field.

Parameters: particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend the index of the out-of-plane bend that was added int
getOutOfPlaneBendParameters(self, index)

Get the force field parameters for an out-of-plane bend term.

Parameters: index (int) – the index of the outOfPlaneBend for which to get parameters particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend
setOutOfPlaneBendParameters(self, index, particle1, particle2, particle3, particle4, k)

Set the force field parameters for an out-of-plane bend term.

Parameters: index (int) – the index of the outOfPlaneBend for which to set parameters particle1 (int) – the index of the first particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle2 (int) – the index of the second particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle3 (int) – the index of the third particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend particle4 (int) – the index of the fourth particle connected by the outOfPlaneBend k (double) – the force constant for the out-of-plane bend
updateParametersInContext(self, context)

Update the per-bend term 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 setOutOfPlaneBendParameters() 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-bend term parameters. The set of particles involved in a term cannot be changed, nor can new terms 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
