Does anyone has a clear definition or a reference for the Twin-range cut-off? I
searched the internet and looked at the manual yet I couldn't get the idea
A twin-range cutoff just means that your short-range cutoffs aren't all the same
value, such that they form two interaction zones. Within the shortest, the
neighbor list is updated every step. Between the shortest and longest cutoffs,
the neighbor list is updated every nstlist steps. For instance:
rlist = 0.9
rcoulomb = 0.9
rvdw = 1.4
are common settings for Gromos96 force fields (in conjunction with PME). Thus
there are two interaction zones - the first is if two atoms (or charge groups,
depending on the algorithm) are within 0.9 nm, and the second is if the two
interacting species are beyond 0.9 nm but within 1.4 nm of each other.
