Hi,
I currently read through the GMX manual 4.5.3. I have two questions:
1) Density is calculated by the density of the material and the box
volume. But I can't find a reference on how the box size is calculated.
Can you point me to some literature?
The volume of the box is the determinant of the matrix formed by the box
vectors. If that matrix is upper- or lower-triangular, then the volume
is the product of the entries in the leading diagonal.
2) I wanted to look up the calculation of the potential energy. Do I
understand the calculation correctly:
- pairwise sum over all molecules
- for each pair Coulomb, Lennard-Jones and bonded terms are summed
aswell
- the calculation involves the position of the molecules (for example
Lennard-Jones)
Well that's vaguely accurate. Bonded terms can involve more than pairs
of atoms.
