dear lammps users,
i am interested in using the MMFF94 forcefield by Tom Halgren with lammps.
[Thomas A. Halgren, J. Comput. Chem., 17, 490-519 (1996) and follow up papers]
all the potential terms should be available with the classII terms. however,
the special vdW term used in MMFF94, namely the buffered-14-7 potential is
not.
judging from the sources of the different pair potential classes and the
documentation i think it should not be too difficult to implement this.
however, i am new to the code and therefore i dare asking the following:
- there was no mentioning of the forcefield, "halgren" or the potential in the
archives, but there might be someone out there who did this already (which
would save a lot of time for me, if the one would be willing to share :-).
anyone implemented buff-14-7 already?
- if not, maybe someone -probably more experineced in extending lammps- is
also interested in this? i am willing to do it but might need some help
eventually? so please let me know offlist.
thanks for your patience.
greetings from bochum
