That would be why it would be good for you to be looking in the current version of the manual, version 3.3, where 4.2.4 is on page 51 and refers to FENE. This makes it look like FENE was a new introduction in 3.3, and is a great general reason why people should be using current versions of software except with a clear scientific reason not to. Further, table 5.4 describes how to implement FENE in a topology. > Third Mark and Tsjerk you must be more careful, specific and polite in > your answers you give, especially when you don't know what you are talking > about, not try to get rid of someone, make sure first that you understand > and have the right answer, otherwise it is better not to > answer! Please check your assumptions here... we're expecting a basic level of competence in users attempting to solve their own problems. We both expressed our frustration at the regular occurrence of someone posting a query to this mailing list that is clearly covered in the available documentation. We're under no obligation to do anybody's work for them, and it annoys people when others expect them to do things for free when some basic attention would have prevented the need for the inquiry. Please have a look at "How to ask questions the smart way" here http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html, to see how questions like several you have posted here are likely to elicit less-than-helpful responses from knowledgeable users on groups such as this one. Both of our initial replies were more helpful than I think the care that went into the construction of your query merited. My initial reply suggested how to get a more useful response to your inquiry, and Tsjerk gave you a specific answer. I do concede that my subsequent reply to him was an unnecessary tongue-in-cheek cheap shot.
