![]() (These molecules can be used to build even larger molecules.) Once built, individual molecules and subunits can be customized (atoms and bonds, and subunits can be inserted, moved, deleted and/or replaced). Moltemplate can then duplicate the molecule, customize it, and use it as a building-block for constructing larger, more complex molecules. LT files are templates containing all of the text relevant to a particular molecule (including coordinates, bond-topology, angles, force-field parameters, constraints, groups and fixes). (See section 2.)Ī simple file format has been created to store molecule definitions and force-fields (the LAMMPS-template format, LT). Downloading these examples is highly recommended. However numerous examples and README files are available to demonstrate how to run these kinds of simulations. ![]() Warning: This manual does not explain how to run “active-matter" simulations or use all-atom force fields. The result can be used as a starting point, but you - as the person knowing the force file and having studied the literature - have to correct and improve on that.Moltemplate Manual-(1)(Andrew Jewett, Jensen Lab (Caltech), Shea Lab (UCSB)) Please also keep in mind that any command that has “guess” in its name is just that, a (educated) guess (sometimes more educated, sometimes less). As you can see from the examples in the TopoTools tutorials, those need to be adjusted to each specific case and force field. not TopoTools discriminates how you have to assign/build a topology but the force field does and TopoTools (and VMD/Tcl scripting) is merely a tool to realize that. You are apparently putting the carriage before the horse. Explaining/discussing those here would be off topic. It follows simple rules outlined in the TopoTools documentation. TopoTools (same as VMD) knows nothing about specific force fields or atom types or types of bonded interactions and how to assign them. To produce suitable output files, it has to assume that you have done and correctly entered the forcefield atom typing and bond topology information beforehand. It just offers tools to conveniently enter and modify topology related data, plus commands to write out topology files in multiple formats. Like VMD, TopoTools is for the most part completely agnostic of the force field. the partial charges need to be determined in accordance with the force field you are using. but then again, the major issue at hand is a matter of understanding force fields and how to use them correctly and less so how things need to be done with TopoTools or LAMMPS.the ![]() the vmd mailing list would be more suited. Please note that this is mostly the wrong forum. However, the number of dihedral types and improper types are different from those generated by TopoTools. Subsequently, I try to find out the force field parameter, such as pair_coeff, bond_coeff, angle_coeff, dihedral_coeff, improper_coeff from. I am wondering if that is the way to calculate the charge as in TopoTools. Each partial charge is calculated by involving the electrovalency, electronegativity, both number of bonding and non-bonding electron. I just developed the LAMMPS data file for benzaldehyde phenylhydrazone using TopoTools, as shown below. ![]() Sorry if I ask the following questions in this forum. ![]()
