Detailed Description

This is a leap-frog Verlet Integrator that simulates systems with Drude particles.

It uses the self-consistent field (SCF) method: at every time step, the positions of Drude particles are adjusted to minimize the potential energy.

This Integrator requires the System to include a DrudeForce, which it uses to identify the Drude particles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DrudeSCFIntegrator

(

double

stepSize

)

Create a DrudeSCFIntegrator.

Parameters

stepSize

the step size with which to integrator the system (in picoseconds)

Member Function Documentation

void cleanup ( )

protectedvirtual

This will be called by the Context when it is destroyed to let the Integrator do any necessary cleanup.

It will also get called again if the application calls reinitialize() on the Context.

Reimplemented from Integrator.

double computeKineticEnergy ( )

protectedvirtual

Compute the kinetic energy of the system at the current time.

Implements Integrator.

std::vector<std::string> getKernelNames ( )

protectedvirtual

Get the names of all Kernels used by this Integrator.

Implements Integrator.

double getMinimizationErrorTolerance ( ) const

inline

Get the error tolerance to use when minimizing the potential energy.

This roughly corresponds to the maximum allowed force magnitude on the Drude particles after minimization.

Returns

the error tolerance to use, measured in kJ/mol/nm

void initialize ( ContextImpl &  context )

protectedvirtual

This will be called by the Context when it is created.

It informs the Integrator of what context it will be integrating, and gives it a chance to do any necessary initialization. It will also get called again if the application calls reinitialize() on the Context.

Implements Integrator.

void setMinimizationErrorTolerance ( double  tol )

inline

Set the error tolerance to use when minimizing the potential energy.

This roughly corresponds to the maximum allowed force magnitude on the Drude particles after minimization.

Parameters

tol	the error tolerance to use, measured in kJ/mol/nm

void stateChanged ( State::DataType  changed )

protectedvirtual

When the user modifies the state, we need to mark that the forces need to be recalculated.

Reimplemented from Integrator.

void step ( int  steps )

virtual

Advance a simulation through time by taking a series of time steps.

Parameters

steps

the number of time steps to take

Implements Integrator.
