Detailed Description

Microcanonical MD: A class for doing molecular dynamics simulations according to the principle of a microcanonical ensemble (NVE), i.e., the total energy of the system is kept constant. Numerical integration for new atom positions is done via the Velocity Verlet method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::MicroCanonicalMD

(

)

The default constructor with no arguments.

BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::MicroCanonicalMD

(

ForceField &

myforcefield

)

This constructor expects a force field. The force field's options are used and no snapshots are taken.

BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::MicroCanonicalMD	(	ForceField &	myforcefield,
		SnapShotManager *	ssm
	)

This constructor expects a force field and a snapshot-manager. The force field's options are used.

BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::MicroCanonicalMD	(	ForceField &	myforcefield,
		SnapShotManager *	ssm,
		const Options &	myoptions
	)

This constructor wants a force field, a snapshot manager and new options.

Reimplemented from BALL::MolecularDynamics.

virtual bool BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::setup	(	ForceField &	myforcefield,
		SnapShotManager *	ssm,
		const Options &	myoptions
	)			[virtual]

This method does general setup things.

Reimplemented from BALL::MolecularDynamics.

virtual bool BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::setup	(	ForceField &	myforcefield,
		SnapShotManager *	ssm
	)			[virtual]

This method does general setup things.

Reimplemented from BALL::MolecularDynamics.

virtual bool BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::simulateIterations	(	Size	number,
		bool	restart = false
	)			[virtual]

This method does the actual simulation stuff. It runs for the indicated number of iterations. restart = true means that the counting of iterations is continued from the previous run.

Reimplemented from BALL::MolecularDynamics.

virtual bool BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::specificSetup

(

)

[virtual]

This method is meant for additional preparations apart from those done in setup.

Reimplemented from BALL::MolecularDynamics.
