Hi Giacomo,
Thanks for your reply! My collective variable is a 3D vector like
(k0,k1,k2) and I know how to calculate (dk0/dri,dk1/dri,dk2/dri) where
ri is the Cartesian coordinate of i-th COM. Now I encounter some other
problems:
1. What is implicit gradients? It looks all vector or quaternion based
colvars use enable(f_cvc_implicit_gradient) and have empty
calc_gradients(). How do I choose which features in features_cvc enum to
be enabled? Should I use some additional member variable to store the
gradients other than atom_group->grad?
2. What is the type of the force inapply_force(colvarvalue const &force)
? Is the force a 3D vector like (f0,f1,f2) or just any type defined in
theType enum?
