[gmx-developers] GROMACS-RAMD implementation using PULL code

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

By now we might have all infrastructure in place to convert the pull 
code to MDModule and ForceProvider, but we do not have a concrete time 
plan for this.

But for RAMD it would seem to me that you want to use exactly the same 
coupling that the AWH module uses. You can register an external force 
provider to for pull coordinates and supply forces to it yourself. Have 
a look at awh.cpp and related files.

Cheers,

Berk
