Time steps
The simulator has a maximum allowed time step. It can take shorter ones if needed due to stability concerns. As with all times in `IMP`, the time step is in fs.

Explicitly accessing the particles list
One can explicitly specify which particles should be used for the simulation, or retrieve information about the list of particles. Each particle must be a Mass and core::XYZ particle. If none are specified, the model is searched for appropriate particles, based on the get_simulation_particles() method, which can be overridden by child classes.

Detailed Description

A simulator is an optimizer with dynamic tracking of time, such that each frame is associated with a (possibly variable size) time step.

The simulation can be invoked directly by calling simulate(fs) for a given time in femtoseconds, or by calling Optimizer::optimize(nf) for a give number of frames.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IMP::atom::Simulator::Simulator	(	kernel::Model *	m,
		std::string	name = `"Simulator %1%"`,
		double	wave_factor = `1.0`
	)

Parameters

m	model associated with simulater
name	simulater name where %1% is a joker
wave_factor	if >=1.001, use wave time step size with larger maximal time step, using simulate_wave() when calling optimize()

Note: wave_factor is an advanced feature - if you're not sure, just use its default, see also simulate_wave(); wave_factor is experimental and liable to change at any time.

See Also: simulate()

Member Function Documentation

virtual double IMP::atom::Simulator::do_step	(	const kernel::ParticleIndexes &	sc,
		double	dt
	)

protectedpure virtual

Perform a single time step and return the amount that time should be advanced. A maximum time step value is passed.

Implemented in IMP::atom::MolecularDynamics.

double IMP::atom::Simulator::get_current_time ( ) const

returns the simulation time in femtoseconds that was performed by this simulator since it was constructed

Note: this time can be tweaked using set_current_time() )

Definition at line 109 of file Simulator.h.

virtual bool IMP::atom::Simulator::get_is_simulation_particle ( kernel::ParticleIndex p ) const

protectedpure virtual

Return true if the passed particle is appropriate for the simulation.

Implemented in IMP::atom::MolecularDynamics, and IMP::isd::MolecularDynamics.

kernel::ParticleIndexes IMP::atom::Simulator::get_simulation_particle_indexes ( ) const

Same as get_simulation_particles(), but returns particle model indexes.

See Also: get_simulation_particles()

kernel::ParticlesTemp IMP::atom::Simulator::get_simulation_particles ( ) const

Returns the set of particles used in the simulation. If a non-empty set of particles was provided explicitly by earlier calls to the particles list accessor methods, eg, add_particles(), this set it returned. Otherwise, the associated kernel::Model object is searched for appropriate particles that have a mass and XYZ decorators.

See Also: add_particle(); add_particles(); remove_particle(); clear_particles(); set_particles(); set_particles_order()

void IMP::atom::Simulator::set_current_time ( double ct )

Sets the current simulation time in femtoseconds to ct.

Definition at line 114 of file Simulator.h.

virtual void IMP::atom::Simulator::setup ( const kernel::ParticleIndexes & )

protectedvirtual

A Simulator class can perform setup operations before a series of simulation steps is taken.

Reimplemented in IMP::atom::MolecularDynamics.

Definition at line 158 of file Simulator.h.

double IMP::atom::Simulator::simulate ( double time_in_fs )

simulate for a given time, by calling the protected method do_step() iteratively.

Parameters

time_in_fs time in femtoseconds

double IMP::atom::Simulator::simulate_wave	(	double	time_in_fs,
		double	max_time_step_factor = `10.0`,
		double	base = `1.5`
	)

Simulate for a given time in fs using a wave step function with maximal time step increased by up to max_time_step_factor simulate for a given time, by calling the protected method do_step() iteratively, and using a self adjusting time step that can grow up to max_time_step_factor times than the default time step returned by get_maximum_time_step()

Parameters

time_in_fs	time_in_fs in femtoseconds
max_time_step_factor	the maximal factor by which the maximum time step is exceeded
base	base by which time step increases or decreases during the wave

Note: This function is experimental and liable to change at any time.
