Hi Jian,

The cutoff is based on the center of geometry of the "charge group" definitions in your topology. Since we typically use PME nowadays the don't have to be neutral, so "neighborsearching group" would probably be a better name.

If each atom is a separate charge group the cutoff is thus based on their centers.

Cheers,

Erik

Thanks a lot, Hess.
By the way, what is the cutoff criteria used in Gromacs, is it
nonzero overlap between LJ-spheres or the mass-centers reside
in the LJ-sphere? Since these two are significantly different
in the dynamics way of cutoff.
I may take a look of the code ns.c. later.

Jian

Hi Hess,
Thanks for your comments, although we have difference in this
topic. The carrier of depletion force at least for me is
not sure. So we want to do a test anyway in this way.

Ah, now I understand what you want to do.

For that it would help to have different cut-offs.
We are (currently) not going to implement such a thing.
But is should not be too difficult to modify the cut-off
check for the neighborlist in ns.c.

Berk.
