Re: Urey-Bradley term

Fangqiang,

I am trying to build a tool that finds charmm force field parameters for
carbon nanotubes. It is based on running namd in a loop with a dft program.
CNTs in particular are very difficult to fit and I need all charmm's
parameters to do the job. Namd computes internally the Urey-Bradley terms and
it is a waste of information not to display it. I did a Tcl script but it's
too slow, and I won't have the time to do it in C.

Can namd developers help me in this matter, and build a patch for namd-2.5
that simply displays the ANGLE term split in ANGLE and UREY-BRADLEY terms. I
would have done it myself but to be honest I never was able to compile namd
and that is because of the cvs system.

Thank you,
Kind Regards,
Cosmin.
