Detailed Description

This class uses a Monte Carlo algorithm to adjust the size of the periodic box, simulating the effect of constant pressure.

This class is similar to MonteCarloBarostat, but each Monte Carlo move is applied to only one axis of the periodic box (unlike MonteCarloBarostat, which scales the entire box isotropically). This means that the box may change shape as well as size over the course of the simulation. It also allows you to specify a different pressure for each axis of the box, or to keep the box size fixed along certain axes while still allowing it to change along others.

This class assumes the simulation is also being run at constant temperature, and requires you to specify the system temperature (since it affects the acceptance probability for Monte Carlo moves). It does not actually perform temperature regulation, however. You must use another mechanism along with it to maintain the temperature, such as LangevinIntegrator or AndersenThermostat.

def PressureX ( )

PressureX() -> std::string const &.

This is the name of the parameter which stores the current pressure acting on the X-axis (in bar).

References simtk.openmm.openmm.stripUnits().

def PressureY ( )

PressureY() -> std::string const &.

This is the name of the parameter which stores the current pressure acting on the Y-axis (in bar).

References simtk.openmm.openmm.stripUnits().

def PressureZ ( )

PressureZ() -> std::string const &.

This is the name of the parameter which stores the current pressure acting on the Z-axis (in bar).

def setDefaultPressure (   self,
  args 
)

setDefaultPressure(MonteCarloAnisotropicBarostat self, Vec3 const & pressure)

Set the default pressure acting on the system. This will affect any new Contexts you create, but not ones that already exist.

Parameters
pressurethe default pressure acting on the system, measured in bar.

References simtk.openmm.openmm.stripUnits().

def setFrequency (   self,
  args 
)

setFrequency(MonteCarloAnisotropicBarostat self, int freq)

Set the frequency (in time steps) at which Monte Carlo pressure changes should be attempted. If this is set to 0, the barostat is disabled.

References simtk.openmm.openmm.stripUnits().

def setRandomNumberSeed (   self,
  args 
)

setRandomNumberSeed(MonteCarloAnisotropicBarostat self, int seed)

Set the random number seed. It is guaranteed that if two simulations are run with different random number seeds, the sequence of Monte Carlo steps will be different. On the other hand, no guarantees are made about the behavior of simulations that use the same seed. In particular, Platforms are permitted to use non-deterministic algorithms which produce different results on successive runs, even if those runs were initialized identically.

def setTemperature (   self,
  args 
)

setTemperature(MonteCarloAnisotropicBarostat self, double temp)

Set the temperature at which the system is being maintained.

Parameters
tempthe system temperature, measured in Kelvin.
