[gmx-users] hessian calculation with periodic boundary condition

[John Travers]

Hi,

Do you know whether the Hessian in Gromacs is computed analytically or numerically? From the manual (Page 52), it seems it is  computed by finite difference method. Is it the case in Gromacs 4.6.3? Thanks

Best

JT

Yes it does. The parallel version is broken, by the way, a fix is underway.
