Public Methods

 inertia (std::string const &conf)
 Constructor. More...

 inertia ()
virtual ~inertia ()
virtual void calc_value ()
 \brief Calculate the variable. More...

virtual void calc_gradients ()
 \brief Calculate the atomic gradients, to be reused later in order to apply forces. More...

virtual void apply_force (colvarvalue const &force)
 \brief Apply the collective variable force, by communicating the atomic forces to the simulation program (Note: the ft member is not altered by this function) Note: multiple calls to this function within the same simulation step will add the forces altogether
Parameters:
cvforce  The collective variable force, usually coming from the biases and eventually manipulated by the parent colvar object.

virtual cvm::real dist2 (colvarvalue const &x1, colvarvalue const &x2) const
 \brief Square distance between x1 and x2 (can be redefined to transparently implement constraints, symmetries and periodicities) colvar::cvc::dist2() and the related functions are declared as "const" functions, but not "static", because additional parameters defining the metrics (e.g. the periodicity) may be specific to each colvar::cvc object. If symmetries or periodicities are present, the colvar::cvc::dist2() should be redefined to return the "closest distance" value and colvar::cvc::dist2_lgrad(), colvar::cvc::dist2_rgrad() to return its gradients. If constraints are present (and not already implemented by any of the colvarvalue types), the colvar::cvc::dist2_lgrad() and colvar::cvc::dist2_rgrad() functions should be redefined to provide a gradient which is compatible with the constraint, i.e. already deprived of its component normal to the constraint hypersurface. Finally, another useful application, if you are performing very many operations with these functions, could be to override the colvarvalue member functions and access directly its member data. For instance: to define dist2(x1,x2) as (x2.real_value-x1.real_value)*(x2.real_value-x1.real_value) in case of a scalar colvarvalue type. More...
