The simulation will have PBC. I'm basically wanting to do something like:

https://icme.hpc.msstate.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Uniaxial_Compression

Thanks for the input.

Hi John,

 

as far as I know there’s no reflective boundaries
implemented in NAMD, so if not using periodic boundary condition, the waters
will diffuse away. But you can stress the box while using a barostat algorithm.
Depending on what you want to do, you could be interested in the following:

 

BerendsenPressure

LangevinPiston

outputPressure

Metadynamics

NamdEnergy

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

 

Norman Geist.

Betreff: namd-l: Simulation Box Deformation

 

Hello
Users,

I am wondering if it is possible to deform the simulation box in order to
calculate uniaxel stress, either in compression or tension, and output the
pressure on the walls of the simulation box? If so, what part of the
documentation should I look to figure this out? This is to calculate
mechanical response of a new water model.

Thanks.
