g_ffscan

NAME

g_ffscan − scan and modify force field data for a single point energy calculation

SYNOPSIS

g_ffscan -s topol.tpr -g md.log -table table.xvg -parm params.dat -ga genalg.dat -c junk.gro -e junk.edr -o junk.trr -[no]h -nice int -[no]xvgr -tol real -fmax real -[no]comb -npow real -[no]logeps -[no]v -epot real -fepot real -pres real -fpres real -fmsf real -molsize int -nmol int

DESCRIPTION

The g_ffscan program performs a single point energy and force calculation in which the force field is modified. This way a range of parameters can be changed and tested for reproduction of e.g. quantum chemical or experimental data. A grid scan over the parameters is done as specified using command line arguments. All parameters that reproduce the energy within a given absolute tolerance are printed to a log file.

Obviously polarizable models can be used, and shell optimisation is performed if necessary. Also, like in mdrun table functions can be used for user defined potential functions.

If the option -ga with appropriate file is passed, a genetic algorithm will be used rather than a grid scan.

Print help info and quit

-nice int 19
Set the nicelevel

-[no]xvgr yes
Add specific codes (legends etc.) in the output xvg files for the xmgrace program

-tol real 0.1
Energy tolerance (kJ/mol) (zero means everything is printed)

-fmax real 100
Force tolerance (zero means everything is printed)

-[no]comb yes
Use combination rules
