Interactive MD example files using the fix imd command
|
|
|
|
To run the demos, first start the LAMMPS simulation, during
|
|
initialization it will stop and wait for an IMD client to
|
|
connect. Then launch VMD on the same machine with the respective
|
|
script to connect and visualize the running simulation. For example:
|
|
|
|
mpirun -np 4 lmp_linux -in in.melt_imd
|
|
vmd -e melt_imd-demo.vmd
|
|
|
|
When exiting VMD, the simulation will wait for a new connection. To
|
|
terminate the LAMMPS simulation, type "imd kill" into the VMD command
|
|
line prompt.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
melt:
|
|
an adapted version of the 3d-LJ melt example.
|
|
the VMD visualization contains one highlighted
|
|
atom to play with force application through a
|
|
mouse: Open the Graphical Representations dialog,
|
|
Double-click on the first VDW representation
|
|
to disable it, click with the mouse on the blue
|
|
atom and - while holding the mouse button down -
|
|
drag the atom into some direction. A red arrow
|
|
should appear indicating direction and magnitude
|
|
of the force. Now double-click on the first VDW
|
|
representation again to re-enable the rest of
|
|
the atoms and watch the blue atom move.
|
|
|
|
deca-ala-solv:
|
|
a solvated deca alanin helix. The mouse mode is
|
|
preset to move residues instead of individual
|
|
atoms. Disable the water rep and grab an atom
|
|
from the peptide and drag it to apply forces.
|
|
|
|
deca-ala:
|
|
this is the same system as the previous, but
|
|
the fix is only applied to the peptide and thus
|
|
the corresponding vmd script needs a different
|
|
topology file with the matching number of atoms
|
|
to visualize it and receive the IMD data.
