This class implements nonbonded interactions between particles.
Unlike NonbondedForce, the functional form of the interaction is completely customizable, and may involve arbitrary algebraic expressions and tabulated functions. It may depend on the distance between particles, as well as on arbitrary global and per-particle parameters. It also optionally supports periodic boundary conditions and cutoffs for long range interactions.
To use this class, create a CustomNonbondedForce object, passing an algebraic expression to the constructor that defines the interaction energy between each pair of particles. The expression may depend on r, the distance between the particles, as well as on any parameters you choose. Then call addPerParticleParameter() to define per-particle parameters, and addGlobalParameter() to define global parameters. The values of per-particle parameters are specified as part of the system definition, while values of global parameters may be modified during a simulation by calling Context::setParameter().
Next, call addParticle() once for each particle in the System to set the values of its per-particle parameters. The number of particles for which you set parameters must be exactly equal to the number of particles in the System, or else an exception will be thrown when you try to create a Context. After a particle has been added, you can modify its parameters by calling setParticleParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().
CustomNonbondedForce also lets you specify "exclusions", particular pairs of particles whose interactions should be omitted from force and energy calculations. This is most often used for particles that are bonded to each other.
As an example, the following code creates a CustomNonbondedForce that implements a 12-6 Lennard-Jones potential:
CustomNonbondedForce* force = new CustomNonbondedForce("4*epsilon*((sigma/r)^12-(sigma/r)^6); sigma=0.5*(sigma1*sigma2); epsilon=sqrt(epsilon1*epsilon2)");
This force depends on two parameters: sigma and epsilon. The following code defines these as per-particle parameters:
force->addPerParticleParameter("sigma"); force->addPerParticleParameter("epsilon");
The expression must be symmetric with respect to the two particles. It typically will only be evaluated once for each pair of particles, and no guarantee is made about which particle will be identified as "particle 1". In the above example, the energy only depends on the products sigma1*sigma2 and epsilon1*epsilon2, both of which are unchanged if the labels 1 and 2 are reversed. In contrast, if it depended on the difference sigma1-sigma2, the results would be undefined, because reversing the labels 1 and 2 would change the energy.
Expressions may involve the operators + (add), - (subtract), * (multiply), / (divide), and ^ (power), and the following functions: sqrt, exp, log, sin, cos, sec, csc, tan, cot, asin, acos, atan, sinh, cosh, tanh, erf, erfc, min, max, abs, step, delta. All trigonometric functions are defined in radians, and log is the natural logarithm. step(x) = 0 if x is less than 0, 1 otherwise. delta(x) = 1 if x is 0, 0 otherwise. The names of per-particle parameters have the suffix "1" or "2" appended to them to indicate the values for the two interacting particles. As seen in the above example, the expression may also involve intermediate quantities that are defined following the main expression, using ";" as a separator.
In addition, you can call addFunction() to define a new function based on tabulated values. You specify a vector of values, and a natural spline is created from them. That function can then appear in the expression.

void updateParametersInContext | ( | Context & | context | ) |
Update the per-particle 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 setParticleParameters() to modify this object's parameters, then call updateParametersInState() to copy them over to the Context.
This method has several limitations. The only information it updates is the values of per-particle parameters. All other aspects of the Force (the energy function, nonbonded method, cutoff distance, etc.) are unaffected and can only be changed by reinitializing the Context. Also, this method cannot be used to add new particles, only to change the parameters of existing ones.
