Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Shift Electrostatic Summation

Thank you for your help. Yes, when I found the user define part for electrostatics, I hope I can use this part since the analytic form of my potential is known. However, since there is a self energy term exist and then the whole energy cannot be decomposed to pair interactions because I cannot specify how much to each pair since the number of neighbours is unkown. That is why I am confused. So I still need an new electrostatic summation similiar to shift, not just a new pair interaction.

The number of neighbours is known at run-time. However, I still don't see why this matters - see http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2009-March/040830.html
OK, the self energy is assigned for each ion. If I want to decompose the potential form of total energy to summation of pair potential, I should devide the self term by number of neighbours and assigned to each pair. So I cannot use user define potential for my problem.

And I cannot understand/find how the force for Shift electrostatic summation is calculated in force.c since there is no formula for force found. Or I find the wrong place? And if I want to modify the force formula for Shift, where is it?

Look in the nonbonded kernels - like I said in the above post and previously.
