[gmx-users] Setting custom atoms in FF

[Alex]

I am not mixing forcefield types, but I am indeed mixing angle types. I
suppose I will adjust my constants so the local derivatives near
equilibrium roughly correspond to what I need while sticking to the rtp
default, I can't see another way around.

I have tremendous respect for you guys, but I too developed a ton of code
for atomistic methods and I do not see the rationale for imposing this
rigidity.  I would understand it, if the code used mathematically
cumbersome potentials, but with all these polynomial springs, the forces
could be done in a switchable manner in a single sweep...

Thanks for clarifying this, Justin. Kind of a crucial point.
