If your force is between "atom" pairs you might be better trying to give all
of that as a tabulated potential ... no coding.

well if I need to add it by myself, I am not very sure in what variable to add it to. Like I said, I know to add the force on the atom i do f[indxofatom][XX]= forcevalue, where to potential value due to this force?

It's not easy. Look at how the generic kernel does it and work you way back through the data structures.

Hi



I want to do Coarse-Grained simulation in Gromacs. I have one CG force

formula, which I plan to implement by adding a short code in do_force()

routine in Gromacs 4.0.7 source code.



After browsing through the do_force() code, I am now familiar with data

structure relevant to add the new force. I mean, I can specify new force

by adding to f[indx][XX] and so on.



But I am not very sure about potential, whether do I have to explicitly

specify the potential on atoms due to this force or gromacs

automatically takes care of it by knowing the forces on each atoms?




You will need to add that yourself if you want the reported potential to be accurate. GROMACS uses the given parameters in its inner loops to calculate energies and forces. The former are not reverse-engineered from the latter. If the potential is never used, however, then you can forget about it...
