CHARMM, AMBER, COMPASS and DREIDING force fields :h3
CHARMM, AMBER, COMPASS, and DREIDING force fields :h3
A force field has 2 parts: the formulas that define it and the
coefficients used for a particular system. Here we only discuss
formulas implemented in LAMMPS that correspond to formulas commonly
used in the CHARMM, AMBER, COMPASS and DREIDING force fields. Setting
coefficients is done in the input data file via the
"read_data"_read_data.html command or in the input script with
used in the CHARMM, AMBER, COMPASS, and DREIDING force fields. Setting
coefficients is done either from special sections in an input data file
via the "read_data"_read_data.html command or in the input script with
commands like "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html or
"bond_coeff"_bond_coeff.html. See the "Tools"_Tools.html doc page for
additional tools that can use CHARMM or AMBER to assign force field
coefficients and convert their output into LAMMPS input.

released in March 2017. We recommend they be used instead of the
older {charmm} styles. See discussion of the differences on the "pair

COMPASS is a general force field for atomistic simulation of
common organic molecules, inorganic small molecules, and polymers which
was developed using ab initio and empirical parametrization techniques.
See the "Tools"_Tools.html doc page for the msi2lmp tool for creating
LAMMPS template input and data files from BIOVIAs Materias Studio files.
See "(Sun)"_#howto-Sun for a description of the COMPASS force field.

unmaintained, so it does not support all features of Materials Studio
provided force field files, especially additions during the last decade.
You should watch the output carefully and compare results, where
possible. See "(Sun)"_#howto-Sun for a description of the COMPASS force
field.

DREIDING is a generic force field developed by the "Goddard
group"_http://www.wag.caltech.edu at Caltech and is useful for
predicting structures and dynamics of organic, biological and
main-group inorganic molecules. The philosophy in DREIDING is to use
general force constants and geometry parameters based on simple
hybridization considerations, rather than individual force constants
and geometric parameters that depend on the particular combinations of
atoms involved in the bond, angle, or torsion terms. DREIDING has an
"explicit hydrogen bond term"_pair_hbond_dreiding.html to describe
interactions involving a hydrogen atom on very electronegative atoms
(N, O, F).
