The PLUMED Developers are proud to announce that the NEW version
of PLUMED, version number 1.2.0, is available from
http://merlino.mi.infn.it/plumed
PLUMED is a plugin for free-energy calculations in molecular systems
that can be interfaced with some of the most popular molecular dynamics codes
using a simple patching procedure.
PLUMED allows one to perform several type of calculations, including:
- Metadynamics with a wide variety of order parameters
- Combined parallel tempering and metadynamics
- Bias-exchange metadynamics
- Umbrella sampling
- Steered MD
In this NEW release:
* Compatibility with the parallel implementation of SANDER
* Adiabatic Biased Molecular Dynamics
* Redesigned Multiple Walkers
* Inversion condition for the treatment of CV boundaries
* External fixed potential acting on CVs
* Read and write metadynamics bias from/to file
* Steerplan for complex steered MD simulations
* Add a constant force on CVs
* New standalone utility to run PLUMED as an external tool
* New format for COLVAR file with tags
* New CVs: potential energy, similarity to alpha helix and beta sheet structure,
distance from and projection onto a generic axis, difference between distances
* Added support for LAMMPS, Quantum-ESPRESSO, NAMD 2.7b2 and GROMACS 4.0.7
We are also pleased to announce that a Cecam tutorial about PLUMED will take
place in Lausanne (Switzerland) from September 28 to October 1, 2010.
The deadline for applications is May 31, 2010.
