This class implements interactions between sets of three particles that depend on the angle between them.
Unlike HarmonicAngleForce, the functional form of the interaction is completely customizable, and may involve arbitrary algebraic expressions. In addition to the angle formed by the particles, it may depend on arbitrary global and per-angle parameters.
To use this class, create a CustomAngleForce object, passing an algebraic expression to the constructor that defines the interaction energy between each set of particles. The expression may depend on theta, the angle formed by the particles, as well as on any parameters you choose. Then call addPerAngleParameter() to define per-angle parameters, and addGlobalParameter() to define global parameters. The values of per-angle parameters are specified as part of the system definition, while values of global parameters may be modified during a simulation by calling Context::setParameter(). Finally, call addAngle() once for each angle. After an angle has been added, you can modify its parameters by calling setAngleParameters(). This will have no effect on Contexts that already exist unless you call updateParametersInContext().
As an example, the following code creates a CustomAngleForce that implements a harmonic potential:
CustomAngleForce* force = new CustomAngleForce("0.5*k*(theta-theta0)^2");
This force depends on two parameters: the spring constant k and equilibrium angle theta0. The following code defines these parameters:
force->addPerAngleParameter("k"); force->addPerAngleParameter("theta0");
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.

void updateParametersInContext | ( | Context & | context | ) |
Update the per-angle 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 setAngleParameters() 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-angle parameters. All other aspects of the Force (such as the energy function) are unaffected and can only be changed by reinitializing the Context. The set of particles involved in a angle cannot be changed, nor can new angles be added.
