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.
CustomNonbondedForce can operate in two modes. By default, it computes the interaction of every particle in the System with every other particle. Alternatively, you can restrict it to only a subset of particle pairs. To do this, specify one or more "interaction groups". An interaction group consists of two sets of particles that should interact with each other. Every particle in the first set interacts with every particle in the second set. For example, you might use this feature to compute a solute-solvent interaction energy, while omitting all interactions between two solute atoms or two solvent atoms.
To create an interaction group, call addInteractionGroup(). You may add as many interaction groups as you want. Be aware of the following:
Exclusions are still taken into account, so the interactions between excluded pairs are omitted.
Likewise, a particle will never interact with itself, even if it appears in both sets of an interaction group.
If a particle pair appears in two different interaction groups, its interaction will be computed twice. This is sometimes useful, but be aware of it so you do not accidentally create unwanted duplicate interactions.
If you do not add any interaction groups to a CustomNonbondedForce, it operates in the default mode where every particle interacts with every other particle.
When using a cutoff, by default the interaction is sharply truncated at the cutoff distance. Optionally you can instead use a switching function to make the interaction smoothly go to zero over a finite distance range. To enable this, call setUseSwitchingFunction(). You must also call setSwitchingDistance() to specify the distance at which the interaction should begin to decrease. The switching distance must be less than the cutoff distance. Of course, you could also incorporate the switching function directly into your energy expression, but there are several advantages to keeping it separate. It makes your energy expression simpler to write and understand. It allows you to use the same energy expression with or without a cutoff. Also, when using a long range correction (see below), separating out the switching function allows the correction to be calculated more accurately.
Another optional feature of this class is to add a contribution to the energy which approximates the effect of all interactions beyond the cutoff in a periodic system. When running a simulation at constant pressure, this can improve the quality of the result. Call setUseLongRangeCorrection() to enable it.
Computing the long range correction takes negligible work in each time step, but it does require an expensive precomputation at the start of the simulation. Furthermore, that precomputation must be repeated every time a global parameter changes (or when you modify per-particle parameters by calling updateParametersInContext()). This means that if parameters change frequently, the long range correction can be very slow. For this reason, it is disabled by default.
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.

def updateParametersInContext | ( | self, | |
args | |||
) |
updateParametersInContext(CustomNonbondedForce self, 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 updateParametersInContext() 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.
