Re: [gmx-users] umbrella versus constraint in the pulling code

2013-12-10 Thread Thomas Schlesier
Finally I had more time to look into this. My impression is that the constraint-pulling is somewhat buggy and it only works truly with 'pull_geometry = distance', the other two options (direction or position) are more or less broken. I tested GMX 4.0.7 and 4.6.5 and got similar results. Test sy

Hi Thomas - I would also expect that it works the same way as before and as described in the manual. However, thus far I am not very successful. The main application of the "constraint" option is probably to automatically get evenly spaced windows during pulling, but I am not able to achieve this.

Hi, I never used the pull-code with GMX 4.5.x or 4.6.x,but I would assume that it'sthe same as in 4.0.x: 'Umbrella': Due to the harmonic potential the force and the distance between the two particles will fluctuate. 'Constraint': Only the force will fluctuate. The (relative) distance between th

2013-11-30 Thread Dr. Vitaly Chaban
Could anyone please explain the difference between how "umbrella" and "constaint" options in the pulling code work. Based on the manual, I expect that the only difference is that umbrella used harmonic potential to bind pulled group to the reference group (point), while "constraint" uses shake algo
