Re: hard sphere simulation

I'd suggest modeling it as a very stiff "soft" interaction.

If you want a single sphere, substantially larger than an atom and located
at a fixed location then you can probably adapt the spherical harmonic
boundary conditions code (src/ComputeSphericalBC.[Ch]) to implement
whatever hard-core potential (like (r-r_0)^(-12)) you want.

Otherwise, you'll need to be a little more specific in what you want.
