Output components

This action can calculate the values in the following table when the associated keyword is included in the input for the action. These values can be referenced elsewhere in the input by using this Action’s label followed by a dot and the name of the value required from the list below.

Name Type Keyword Description
lessthan scalar LESS_THAN the number of cvs in the region of interest that are less than a certain threshold
morethan scalar MORE_THAN the number of cvs in the region of interest that are more than a certain threshold
between scalar BETWEEN the number of cvs in the region of interest that are within a certain range
sum scalar SUM the sum of all the colvars weighted by the function that determines if we are in the region
mean scalar MEAN the average values of the colvar in the region of interest

Input

The atoms that serve as the input for this action are specified using one or more of the keywords in the following table.

Keyword Type Description
ATOMS atoms the group of atoms that you would like to investigate

Syntax

The following table describes the keywords and options that can be used with this action

Keyword Type Default Description
ATOMS input none the group of atoms that you would like to investigate
CENTER input none the atom whose vicinity we are interested in examining
ATOM input none the atom whose vicinity we are interested in examining
KERNEL compulsory gaussian the type of kernel function to be used
RADIUS compulsory none the switching function that tells us the extent of the sphereical region of interest. Options for this keyword are explained in the documentation for LESS_THAN.
SERIAL optional false do the calculation in serial
OUTSIDE optional false calculate quantities for colvars that are on atoms outside the region of interest
DATA optional not used the label of an action that calculates multicolvars
LESS_THAN optional not used calcualte the number of colvars that are inside the region of interest and that are less than a certain threshold
MORE_THAN optional not used calcualte the number of colvars that are inside the region of interest and that are greater that a certain threshold
BETWEEN optional not used calculate the number of colvars that are inside the region of interest and that have a CV value that is between a particular set of bounds
SUM optional false calculate the sum of all the quantities
MEAN optional false calculate the average value of the colvar inside the region of interest
