Detailed Description

This is an Integrator which simulates a System using the leap-frog Verlet algorithm.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VerletIntegrator ( double  stepSize )

explicit

Create a VerletIntegrator.

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.

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 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.
