|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This command sets parameters that affect the energy minimization
|
|
algorithms. The various settings may effect the convergence rate and
|
|
overall number of force evaluations required by a minimization, so
|
|
users can experiment with these parameters to tune their
|
|
minimizations.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The minimization algorithms have an outer iteration (conjugate
|
|
gradient or steepest descent) and an inner iteration which is steps
|
|
along a one-dimensional line search in a particular search direction.
|
|
The <I>dmax</I> parameter is how far any atom can move in a single line
|
|
search in any dimension (x, y, or z). Thus a value of 0.1 in real
|
|
distance units means no atom will move further than 0.1 Angstroms in a
|
|
single outer iteration. This is typically set to avoid the
|
|
possibility than one atom will be moved through another due to strong
|
|
overlapping forces.
