Exercise 1 - Cook It
Nice to check that your new forcefield lets your favourite molecule move in fabulous ways, right? So why don’t you set up a “gas phase” calculation of a single copy of your molecule and run some molecular dynamics on it to see it dance?
Tips:
- Your configuration will need to contain a single molecule at a low density (maybe 1.0e-4 atoms Å-3 or lower) in order to get a box with enough space to make the simulation viable.
- No point in doing any Monte Carlo evolution, unless you really want to.
- Make sure you’re looking at the configuration viewer when the simulation is running!
