DAngle (Module)

Calculate distance distribution and angle map for A–B···C

Overview

The DAngle module calculates the angle between two vectors $u$ and $v$ from two oriented sites A and B, forming the averages of the angle, the A···B distances, and the distance-angle map. The sites A and B must be present on the same molecule - C may exist anywhere. Internal angles - i.e. between sites A-B-C all on the same molecule - are excluded by default from the calculation, but may be included if required. If more flexibility is required, see the Angle module.
