Hi everyone!
According to Haichuan's guidance, I am trying to do some runtime
calculations over a MD simulation by using Colvars. I would like to pass
two parameters of Colvars to a function in the NAMD configuration file to
apply my calculation on them. For example, the function in the NAMD
configuration file can be:
namespace eval funca { }
proc calc_funca {arg1 arg2} {...}
- arg1 can be Cartesian coordinate
- arg2 can be a distance
My question is how can I define these two variables in colvars at the same
time and pass them to a function in the NAMD configuration file?
Best Regards,
Faramarz
