Detailed Description

Simple Brownian dynamics simulator.

This is an implementation of a Brownian Dynamics simulator.

Input particles and score

Each optimized particle must have x,y,z attributes that are optimizable. In addition, each optimized particle must be decorated with the Diffusion decorator. Optionally, the RigidBodyDiffusion decorator can be used to specify a rotational diffusion coefficient for core::RigidBody particles. The optimizer assumes the scoring function to be energy in kcal/mol, and the xyz coordinates to be in angstroms and the diffusion coefficient of each particle be in \(A^2/fs\) (or \(Radian^2/fs\) for rotational diffusion coefficient). Particles without optimized x,y,z and nonoptimized D are skipped.

The optimizer can either automatically determine which particles to use from the model or be passed a SingletonContainer for the particles. If such a container is passed, particles added to it during optimization state updates are handled properly.

Simulation

At each simulation time step, each particle is translated in the direction of the sum of a random diffusion vector and the gradient of the scoring function (force field) at the particle coordinates. The translation is proportional to the particle diffusion coefficient, the time step size, and the inverse of kT. Note that particles masses are not considered, only their diffusion coefficients.

Similarly, rigid bodies are rotated by the sum of a random torque and a force field torque, proportionally to the rotational diffusion coefficient, the time step size, and inversely proportional kT.

If the skt (stochastic Runge Kutta) flag is true, the simulation is altered slightly to apply the SKT scheme.

Time step The time step is always equal precisely to Simulater::get_maximum_time_step() when using either Simulator::simulate() or Optimizer::optimize()

double  wave_factor = 1.0,
unsigned int  random_pool_size = 10000 
)

If sc is not null, that container will be used to find particles to move, otherwise the model will be searched.

Parameters

namename of bd object
wave_factorfor wave step function, see Simulator object, if >1.001 or so, creates a wave of time steps that are larger by up to wave_factor from formal maximal time step
random_pool_sizenumber of random numbers in internal pool used to accelerate random number generation. Memory requirement scales accordingly.
Note
wave_factor is an advanced feature - if you're not sure, just use its default, see also Simulator::simulate_wave()
