Default::CHECK_AFTER_ITERATIONS

Parameters

check_after_iterations

int

Definition at line 365 of file poissonBoltzmann.h.

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::DIELECTRIC_SMOOTHING

static

Smoothing the dielectric constant. With this option you can choose a smoothing function for the dielectric thus permitting a smooth transition from the inside of the molecule (usually dc = 2.0) to the surrounding solvent (78.5). You have the followin options: none, uniform and harmonic. Default is none. different dielectric constant

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::ION_RADIUS

static

The ion exclusion radius.

Parameters

ion_radius

float

Definition at line 292 of file poissonBoltzmann.h.

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::IONIC_STRENGTH

static

The ionic strength of the salt solution This parameter defines the ionic strength of the salt solution in which the Poisson-Boltzmann calculation takes place. This parameter is given in units of mol/l. The default is 0, i. e. only a Poisson equation will be calculated.

Default::IONIC_STRENGTH

Parameters

ionic_strength

float

Definition at line 265 of file poissonBoltzmann.h.

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::LOWER

static

The lower corner of the grid. This option contains the lower corner of the grid. It can be used to fix it before setting up the solver. If this option was not used for initializing the solver gtrid it contains the automatically computed lower corner after the calculation. Use a vector of Angstroms with this option.

Parameters

lower

Vector3

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::MAX_CRITERION

static

Define the MAX criterion. This option defines the upper limit for the residuals. If the maximum residuals are below this value and the RMS lies below rms_criterion, the iteration terminates. The default is 1e-4.

Default::MAX_CRITERION

Parameters

max_criterion

float

Definition at line 357 of file poissonBoltzmann.h.

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::MAX_ITERATIONS

static

Parameters

max_iterations

int

Definition at line 375 of file poissonBoltzmann.h.

const String BALL::FDPB::Option::OFFSET

static
