Re: [ESPResSo-users] Pronlems with FENE bond

Thank you Florian for your reply. Yes I would definitely answer in the mailing list from now on.

So is it like if I mention a bond-length for the polymer, the 'polymer' command will automatically put the monomers accordingly. In that case I don't need to "set the position" for the monomers. Or do I need to?

I assumed this way all the particles will be in a distance approximately $b_l from each other. So how do I position the monomers? According to box length?

"set posx [expr $b_l*rand()]
set posy [expr $b_l*rand()]
set posz [expr $b_l*rand()]" is it defining all the monomers or just the starting one? I am confuse with this command.

Hi,

you are putting all particles in a sphere of radius of $b_l about the origin. Is this really what you want?

If you have other interactions, for example a Lennard-Jones, this will probably explode, if you have a

typical time step.

Cheers,

Florian

The polymer command actually creates the particles, the positions are chosen by a random walk with step length $b_l (because you said so).

If you have no other interactions what you did should still work, maybe you need to reduce you time step.

Please answer to the mailing list and not to me personally ('Answer to all'), so everybody can read profit from the conversation.

Cheers,

Florian
