[gmx-developers] question about repeated dihedraltyeps

[Shirts, Michael R. (mrs5pt)]

Yea, that's the point.  I want to do several proper dihedrals (using 9), but grompp tells me that to have multiple ones, I should use type 4 -- which is an improper dihedral type (though its mostly bookkeeping, as the functional form is the same as 1 or 9).

Note that multiple dihedrals of type 9 are OK, but not multiple dihedral types.

Best,

Are you trying to do several improper dihedrals? I don't think this is implemented. Type 9 is for several proper ones (for charmm force field).

"Type 9 allows multiple potential functions to be applied automatically to
a single dihedral
in the [ dihedral ] section when multiple parameters are defined for the
same atomtypes in
the [ dihedraltypes ] section."

However, when I try this, grompp says:

"Overriding Proper Dih. parameters.
  Use dihedraltype 4 to allow several multiplicity terms.

  old: 0 1 3 0 1 3
  new: HC     CT     CT     HC      9     0   5 4

"
Should the code be checking for type 9, not type 4, since type 4 are
explicitly improper dihedrals?
