Re: [ESPResSo] bonds

[Mikheil Azatov]

Thank you so much Dr.  Axel Arnold for your response. I've been trying to make necessary changes to the code but I encountered a lot of questions while understanding how all the data parameters work. I would really appreciate if you could help me out with some of them.

This is the code that I was thinking to add to the force.c with some questions within the code and after.


  for (c = 0; c < local_cells.n; c++) {

    for (n = 0; n < dd.cell_inter[c].n_neighbors; n++) {
      pairs = dd.cell_inter[c].nList[n].vList.pair;
      np    = dd.cell_inter[c].nList[n].vList.n;

      /* verlet list loop */
      for(i=0; i<2*np; i+=2) {
     p1 = pairs[i];                    /* pointer to particle 1 */
     p2 = pairs[i+1];                  /* pointer to particle 2 */
     dist2 = distance2vec(p1->r.p, p2->r.p, vec21);

        angle = /* angle between paticle 1 particle 2 and third particle with id n_id */
        /*Question: I'm not sure how to find the particle with let's say identity n_id ? */
        /*Is it just local_particles[n_id]*/

        /*now I'm adding the bond if the distance and angle are small enough*/
        if (dist2<"bind_distance")&&( angle < "bind_angle" ){
        int part= p1->p.identity; /*id of particle 1*/
        /*Is the value of int part in local_change_bond the same as ID of the particle ?*/
        int *bond;
        *bond[0]=bond_id(again from espresso file);
        *bond[1]=p1->p.identity;
        *bond[1]=p2->p.identity;
        /*So as I understood bond[0] should have id of the interaction, and the next entries should be the particles      that  are acatually interacting with each other*/

        int delete=0
        local_change_bond(int part, int *bond, int delete)
        /*Then same for angle bond*/
        /*Question: For angle bond as I understand we will have *bond[1] as middle particle *bond[2] left, bond[3], right ?*/

      }
    }
  }


Questions:

1)How to access parameters from espresso file? For example let's say I have bind_distance(or bind_angle) in Espresso file. How I can I access them here ?

2)Should I add this part of code right before the init_forces in force calc ?

3)To make new code run, should I compile Espresso with new code in the different directory ?

4)Also it seems to me that this way I compare only the particles from neighbor cells of cell c and not within cell c itself. Is it right ? If so , how should I check the particles withing the cell ?


Thank you so much for your help,
Mike

The only way to do this is to implement it in C directly. The best place would
be probably at the beginning of the force calculation, force_calc in forces.c.
Using the domain decomposition Verlet lists, you can loop over all pairs of
particles on each processor, and if they meet your distance criterion,
manually add the bonds using local_change_bond from particle_data.c. Since the
Verlet lists on all CPUs contain each pair of particles at most once, there
should be no double insertion of bonds or so.

Will be a bit of coding, but nothing too serious. From looking at
calculate_verlet_ia from verlet.c and local_change_bond it should be easy to
figure out how you do the loop and find your bond partners.

Cheers,
Axel
