[gmx-users] Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD)

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Suman,

I think this discussion would be better placed on the developers-list
(but I'm not sure you're subscribed to that so I'll keep it here).
First, I think it's not a good idea (and it's against Gromacs
philosophy) to remove functionality, as this will disallow repeating
earlier studies.
Second, it may be a good idea to implement DPD, but you'll either have
to wait until one of the developers feels like implementing it, needs
it for it's own research or you'll have to take up the effort to write
an implementation, which can then (if approved of) be added to the
main version. Each of the developers has its own research projects and
it hardly ever works just asking something you need to be implemented,
without providing the implementation.

Maybe a bit disappointing, sorry.

Cheers,

Tsjerk
