Re: [ESPResSo-users] Exclude particles from interaction

[Florian Weik]

Hi,

exclusions disable all short-range interactions. Actually, I think this is a bug, because I can think of no scenario where it  would make sense to disable the short-range part of electrostatics. I will fix this at some point. So the short answer to your question is no, the longer one is "no, but it should be possible.".

Regards,

Florian

Dear all,

I use the current development version with pypresso. If I understand it
correctly, using the "exclude" method of the particle class disables all
non-bonded interactions between the excluded particles.

I have a situation, where I want to suppress the steric Lennard-Jones
interaction, but keep the short-range electrostatic interaction for
certain particles. Is this possible?

I am asking, because in the feature chapter of the user guide it says:
"EXCLUSIONS Allows to exclude specific short ranged interactions within
molecules." So it seems like it would be possible.

Best,
Clemens
