[gmx-users] Using umbrella sampling at constant force

2012-10-17 Thread Sanku M
Hi,
  I am trying to compute free energy of a polymer in presence of a constant 
force.
If I understand correctly, I need to use two pull-option here in gromacs: one 
for performing umbrella sampling and other for applying  constant force. But, 
as far as I know I can not specify two pull option in single mdp file of 
gromacs. 
So, I was wondering whether there is any way out in gromacs regarding this 
issue.
Thanks
Sanku

[gmx-users] Using umbrella sampling at constant force

2012-10-17 Thread Christopher Neale
You can not have multiple reference groups or multiple types of pulling 
(constraint, harmonic, etc) in any version of gromacs that I am aware of.  I 
have modified versions of gromacs 3.3.3 and 4.0.5 that we modified in-house to 
put a loop over the pull code so that this is possible. For v3.3.3, it is very 
simple. For v4.x it is much harder to modify this code and also we did not end 
up coding the ability to use different types of pulling, just the ability to 
have different reference groups, etc. I can send you the code for v3.3.3 if you 
would like. The code for v4.0.5 is part of a manuscript that is not yet 
published, but contact me in a few months and we may be able to send you that 
code as well.

Chris.
