Analyzing simulations run with OpenMM

Grossfield Lab edited this page May 16, 2018 · 6 revisions

OpenMM uses set up files from a bunch of different sources, so we can't give example command lines the way we do for the other packages. However, we can give a few general pointers

  1. Read the other package-specific documents on this wiki.
  2. If you built your simulation using GROMACS, consider running gmxdump2pdb.pl to generate a fake PSF file for use in analysis. This isn't mandatory, but PSF files have a lot of additional information (charge, mass, bonds) that are absent from GRO files, and LOOS can take advantage of that.
  3. If you built your simulation directly in OpenMM, you can use openmm2psf.py to generate a fake PSF, since OpenMM state files aren't particularly information-rich. openmm2psf.py must be run using the same environment you use to run OpenMM (it runs OpenMM behind the scenes). At some point, we may add it to LOOS proper, but for now it's a standalone beast. It does not produce a real PSF file, so don't try to use its output to drive NAMD.
