Re: How to access velocity coordinates from within TclForces script

Hi Patrick, unfortunately, no, velocities are not accessible.

You may try to keep the coordinates of each atom also at the previous
time step, and subtract them from the current ones from inside
tclForces. It's kind of a dirty trick, but in some cases it may be
enough.
