Harmonic

class hoomd.md.improper.Harmonic

Bases: Improper

Harmonic improper force.

Harmonic computes forces, virials, and energies on all impropers in the simulation state with:

\[U(r) = \frac{1}{2}k \left( \chi - \chi_{0} \right )^2\]

Example:

harmonic = hoomd.md.improper.Harmonic()
harmonic.params["A-B-C-D"] = dict(k=1.0, chi0=0)

params

The parameter of the harmonic impropers for each improper type. The dictionary has the following keys:

• k (float, required), potential constant \(k\) \([\mathrm{energy}]\).

• chi0 (float, required), equilibrium angle \(\chi_0\) \([\mathrm{radian}]\).
