SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating a CONFIG file for DL_POLY, a molecular dynamics simulation software. Users are encouraged to refer to the manual for the specific format required for CONFIG files. Additionally, there is an inquiry about simulating a hydrophobic wall or membrane within DL_POLY, indicating a need for understanding boundary conditions and interactions in molecular simulations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with DL_POLY software and its manual
  • Understanding of molecular dynamics simulation concepts
  • Knowledge of particle interactions and boundary conditions
  • Experience with configuring simulation parameters
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the DL_POLY manual for CONFIG file formatting
  • Research methods for simulating hydrophobic surfaces in molecular dynamics
  • Explore tutorials on setting up boundary conditions in DL_POLY
  • Investigate particle speed and force extraction techniques in simulations
USEFUL FOR

Researchers and practitioners in computational chemistry, molecular dynamics simulation specialists, and anyone involved in configuring simulations using DL_POLY.

Does anyone know how to build a CONFIG file for DL_POLY? I have the manual, and it gives the format for the CONFIG files, but am I supposed to just pull particle speed and forces out of the air?

Nevermind on that question, now I'm wondering how to simulate a hydrophobic wall/membrane in the program...
