about the vdw Interpolation calculation in NAMD source code

Dear all,

I try to modified the namd code to implement a new type force field. I want some help in understanding the nonbonded force calculation like VDW in namd. I have found some local experts, but none of them show interesting in such detail.

The source code involving nonbonded calculation (ComputeNonbondedBase.h ComputeNonbondedBase2.h) show a very abstract interpolation method and a large number of macro definitions, completely beyond my ability to fully understand it.

Could some one give me some hint in how this is realized in namd. For example, using the interpolation to calculate a new LJ potential energy.

Best Regards
