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.

BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::MicroCanonicalMD ( const MicroCanonicalMD rhs  ) 

Copy constructor.

virtual BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::~MicroCanonicalMD (  )  [virtual]

The destructor.


Member Function Documentation

MicroCanonicalMD& BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::operator= ( const MicroCanonicalMD rhs  ) 

Assignment operator.

virtual void BALL::MicroCanonicalMD::setTimeStep ( double  step  )  [virtual]

Choose a new time step

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.
