[gmx-developers] Velocity Verlet Algorithm

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

There is nothing special with the VV integrator for any parameters. The 
only thing is that it calculates the kinetic energy from the full step 
instead of the half step kinetic energy (and it does an extra constraint 
call for the velocities).

Cheers,

Berk
