Hi Thomas,
thanks for the prompt reply !
I agree that if the software should manage all possible (arbitrarily
complicated) TI
transformations the most general formula for V(L) has to be implemented in
source codes.
It was just a little hard for me to realize (from this general formula)
how it exactly works during the simulation.
In another words which steps are done in the given MD run in given L value
in the given time ti.
My actual interpretation of the implementation of general formula
V(L) = (1-L) V0 + L V1
is that during the MD run with the given L value in the given time step ti
a) the atom interactions (potentials, forces) are calculated according to
potential V0, using the actual coordinates
b) the atom interactions (potentials, forces) are calculated according to
potential V1, using the actual coordinates
c) the final atom interactions (potential energy, final forces necessary
to propagate the system in time) are calculated
as the L-linear combination of those calculated in a) and b).
Then also dV/dL is calculated (here simple as V1-V0).
I hope that I finally got it :)) if not I have probably to try study
sander source codes and
try more often some gym to promote blood circulation in my brain :))
Anyway thanks again for your help !
Best wishes,
Marek
I thing that for all technical details the best way is really to check
relevant source files.
