Detailed Description

This class prevents the center of mass of a System from drifting.

At each time step, it calculates the center of mass momentum, then adjusts the individual particle velocities to make it zero.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CMMotionRemover ( int  frequency = 1 )

explicit

Create a CMMotionRemover.

Member Function Documentation

ForceImpl* createImpl ( ) const

protectedvirtual

When a Context is created, it invokes this method on each Force in the System.

It should create a new ForceImpl object which can be used by the context for calculating forces. The ForceImpl will be deleted automatically when the Context is deleted.

Implements Force.

int getFrequency ( ) const

inline

Get the frequency (in time steps) at which center of mass motion should be removed.

void setFrequency ( int  freq )

inline

Set the frequency (in time steps) at which center of mass motion should be removed.

bool usesPeriodicBoundaryConditions ( ) const

inlinevirtual

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

Returns

true if force uses PBC and false otherwise

Reimplemented from Force.
