Dear Mr Crowley
Thank you a lot for your reply.
I'm not very experienced in Molecular Dynamics Simulation.
I hoe you don't mind, if I just tell you what I'd like to do and why. Maby you
can tell me if/where I'm wrong...
My system is very large (20000 atoms), at least for my standards...
Is it right that the electrostatic energy contribution is calculated only, when
a new pairlist is written? And if so, couldn't I save calculation time (that is
my biggest problem) by chosing a larger timestep for the nonbonded pairlist
update. I'm aware of the loss of accuracy, but I want to apply internal
restraints on most of the atoms anyway... (rigid bodies connected by a linker)
I'm interested in the relative movement of these "rigid bodies".
So the resulting movement should be on a larger timescale. That's the reason I'm
interested in manipulating the frequency of the nonbonded pairlist update...
With regards,
Andrew Aird
