Thanks. I think I should have a look at some specific documents to understand the flow of control. Namely, to understand what is purpose of the subroutines in src/mdlib/. But I could not find such information in the Gromacs user manual. Do anyone know such an document? Thanks.

Unfortunately the development of GROMACS is not fast enough to suit anybody's wishes, and too fast and complex to make it worth people's volunteer time to do much beyond what can be observed by inspecting the code. I suggest you step through a run of GROMACS with your favourite debugger on a similar calculation and observe the control flow.

There is some discussion of data structures on the GROMACS webpage which is more-or-less useful for the 4.0/4.5 series.

 Hi, everyone.
It is my first use of Gromacs <http://lammps.sandia.gov/> and I am looking for a numerical scheme for one specific constrained SDE, the constrain is a macroscopic one, i.e., overdamped Langevin(Brownian dynamics) equations with an equality constraint which is expressed in form of expectation(or moment of n-th order). This is unlike the common 'micro' constraint(simply function in terms of variable in SDE) . I can not find such a subrountine for solving constrained SDE in MD codes in Gromacs <http://lammps.sandia.gov/>. I see there is an algorithm called "SHAKE" or "RATTLE "which and it seems they could implement Langevin(or Brownian) dynamics with constraints. If convenient, could anyone help to point out which subroutine is specific for implementing SHAKE/RATTLE? Thanks in advance.


Various files in src/mdlib/ deal with these kinds of algorithms.
