Navigation: Documentation / Files / Control files / {FFPARAMS}


The {FFPARAMS} group is employed by the ffoptimize program for input/output specification of FF parameters and their alternation prior FF optimization. The following sections are defined:

[files]

Key Default value Type Description
input string name of file with input FF parameters. This files is usually created by other ffoptimize run.
final 'final.prms' string name of file for optimized FF parameters. This file can serve for subsequent FF optimization, which must employ exactly the same order of FF parameters.
amber 'final.frcmod' logical name of file for optimized FF parameters in AMBER format

[control]

Key Default value Type Description
nb_params string determine how vdw parameters are handled for assembly of NB type pairs. Supported modes are:
normal - standard mode (all reasonable interactions)
like-only - only like atoms
like-all - all like atoms including a probe
all - all interactions
The assembly of FF parameters related to NB interactions is also altered by normal/probe mode of individual sets (see probesize in {TARGETS}/[SET]).
era_only on logical consider only eps, ropt, and alpha parameters
lj2exp6_alpha 12.0 real default value of alpha for conversion from ER->ERA
