[gmx-developers] Stillinger-Weber potentials in GROMACS

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

I assume you need Stillinger-Weber including three body potentials 
between varying, spatially close triplets? That is not something we plan 
to implement. You would need triplet lists for that, or loop over pairs 
of pairs. Because of the highly optimized nature of GROMACS this would 
be a lot of work to implement.

Cheers,

Berk
