Howdy Towhee users, I am planning on creating and releasing a series of video lectures related to Monte Carlo molecular simulation this fall and thought this group would be a great place to see what sort of topics I should cover. I have several ideas of what I want to talk about, but I don't want to lead the witness so I was hoping to get ideas from the community first and then combine those to come up with a list of topics. What aspect of Monte Carlo molecular simulation do you still find confusing, or have found confusing as you were getting started? Please feel free to respond either to the whole list, or to me directly ( me...@gm...). thanks, Marcus -- Marcus G.

Howdy towhee users, Uploaded a minor bug fix version of Towhee to SourceForge today as version 8.1.2. This was a result of myself setting up a new machine for Towhee development. I am attempting to make more time to work on Towhee each week so for those of you who still have questions or bug reports that I have not addressed please feel free to directly email me again to remind me as I attempt to work through the backlog of Towhee related questions and requests. thanks, Marcus -- Marcus G.

Dear towhee users, I have used towhee version 4.6.3 to set up my simulation system and plan to transfer to LAMMPS in order to perform some calculations. I am using the August 2017 version of LAMMPS. Please can anyone tell me the best way to handle this transfer? Are there forcefield changes and compatibility issues that I should be aware of? Thank you very much. |

Howdy Towhee-users, Version 8.0.0 of Towhee is now available. This is mainly an ease of use release. The towhee_input file has been rearranged a bit and many of the parameters are now optional with defaults that should be adequate for most simulations. The web manual was edited for both style and content and I sincerely hope the new towhee_input file and manual are more readable than before. Please feel free to bring any typos or broken links in the manual to my attention (with the notable exception of non-current version towhee_input manual pages as those are not maintained).

Hopefully that can get you started though and then it is just a matter of making sure the file you have is the right format for the converter. You'll need to dig into the source code a bit if it doesn't just happen to work out the first time, but should get you a lot closer than having to write your own conversion utility from scratch.

I want to use towhee to compute a pase diagram of a simple metal. Unfortunately, I don't have a force-field in towhee's format.I only have an eam-potential file in setfl format. Now, I've found a file in the source folder called ffreadsetflfile.FI'm wondering if this is a stand-alone tool or if this is somehow included into the towhee binary...The documentation is not helpful at all...searching for serfl doesn't give any results. How to use readsetfl? |

Dear Seunghwan Baek, I had the same mistake before. I still believe there is a mistake in your force field files. I suggest to check the Torsion Style ,Torsion Coefficients, Angle Style and Angle Coefficients in your force field fie for each component. Then try to calculate the chemical potentials for each single component in one box NPT, it should give you in the output file as fallow Initial Energies for Box 1 Total molecules in this box 200 Molecules of type 1 : 200 total vibration 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] regular 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] bond-bond(1-2) 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] total angle 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] regular 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] angle-angle 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] total torsion 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] regular 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] improper 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] total nonbond -0.009 [K] -0.00002 [kcal/mol] intramolecular 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] 2-body nonbond 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] 3-body nonbond 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] tail correct. -0.009 [K] -0.00002 [kcal/mol] total coulombic 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] real space 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] intramolec. 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] intermolec. 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] self 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] correction 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] recip sum 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] external field 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] solvation 0.000 [K] 0.00000 [kcal/mol] total classical -0.00940678 [K] -0.0000186933 [kcal/mol] initial virial pressure in box 1 = 0.01 Best regards Thaer Al-Jadir PhD Student and Teaching assistant at the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science | The University of Manchester | The Mill (B9) | Oxford Road | Manchester | M13 9PL | Tel: 07473889191 ________________________________ From: 백승환 <kar...@na...> Sent: 07 February 2017 16:10:06 To: Thaer Al-Jadir; tow...@li...

Subject: [Towhee-users] Chemical potential calculation with multicomponents Dear all, Hello, I am trying to calculate chemical potential for multi-component molecules. I ran NPT for 10,000 cyles with 7 components having methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, and dodecane. The results are, u (Gibbs Total) K 1 1 -4205.520 11.451 u (Gibbs Total) K 2 1 -5189.762 40.365 u (Gibbs Total) K 3 1 -4799.743 76.045 u (Gibbs Total) K 4 1 -3745.663 196.951 u (Gibbs Total) K 5 1 -2728.364 480.996 u (Gibbs Total) K 6 1 -1632.444 214.713 u (Gibbs Total) K 7 1 6518.731 622.668 First, what does the positive value of the chemical potential mean? As far as I know, the chemical potential is negative. Shown in the manual, μtotal(i) = μresidual(i) + μdensity(i) + μisolation(i) μresidual(i) = μNpT Insertion(i) - μIsolation(i). Since there is no isolation, only μNpT Insertion(i) +μdensity(i) needs to be considered. μtotal(i) = - kB T ln[ < W * V / ( [N(i)+1] * Λ3(i) ) > ] μdensity(i) = - kB T ln[ < V / N(i) > / Λ3(i)) ] μNpT Insertion(i) = - kB T ln[ < V W > / < V > ] Secondly, I do not understand the following, μtotal(i) = μdensity(i) + μNpT Insertiona(i) - kB T ln[ < W * V / ( [N(i)+1] * Λ3(i) ) > ] = - kB T ln[ < V / N(i) > / Λ3(i)) ] - kB T ln[ < V W > / < V > ] = - kB T ln[< V / N(i) > / Λ3(i))*< V W > / < V >] <=> < W * V / ( [N(i)+1] * Λ3(i) ) > = < V / N(i) > / Λ3(i))*< V W > / < V > According to Martin and Siepmann 1998 (TCA)<http://towhee.sourceforge.net/references.html#martin_siepmann_1998_tca>. The term W is <W+>/Wideal where W+ ‡and Wideal are the Rosenbluth weights of the ghost chain and of an ideal chain. Is this the weighted average insertion probability in Molecular Physics, 1990, 70, 6, 1145-1158, which is equation 6 in page 1150? Otherwise, how can I calculate this? Which source file I should refer to related to this? I see, as the number of carbon (length of the molecules) increases, the value of u (NpT Insertion) also increases. For example, u (Density) K 6 -5886.576 u (NVT Insertion) K 6 4189.927 u (NpT Insertion) K 6 4189.927 u (Den. + NVT Insert) K 6 -1696.649 u (Den. + NpT Insert) K 6 -1696.649 u (Gibbs Total) K 6 -1698.935 u (Density) K 7 -5523.402 u (NVT Insertion) K 7 11449.852 u (NpT Insertion) K 7 11449.852 u (Den. + NVT Insert) K 7 5926.450 u (Den. + NpT Insert) K 7 5926.450 u (Gibbs Total) K 7 5419.709 I simply assume that the positive value of chemical potential of component-7 comes from this large u (NpT Insertion). μNpT Insertion(i) = - kB T ln[ < V W > / < V > ] ln[ < V W > / < V > ] < 0 to get positive μNpT Insertion(i) then, [ < V W > / < V > ] < 1 In conclusion, the longer molecules may have smaller W. So I need additional explanation of this W, please. Moreover, the chemical potential deviation of my simulation is large. Give me suggestion for this and normally, how small they should be? I would appreciate your help! *A few days ago, I emailed with similar question as a non-member. You are able not to post the email from this email address. Sorry for that.

Dear Dr.Martin and all, I checked the chemical potential with several single component in bulk from hexane to octane. Hexane has the negative value of chemical potential and others have positive.

Dear Towhee users and developers, Recently I am modifying Towhee code for Ewald Sum in slab geometry. The only thing I have to do is to add a slab correction term, J = 2*pi/V*(∑q_i*z_i)^2, to the total coulombic energy, accounting for the contribution from image cells in z direction. pi is 3.14, V is volume of box, q_i and z_i are the charge and z-coordinate of atom i. I added three additional subroutines to account for this correction term, in energy_change.F file: twh_ec_slab: calculate energy change in slab correction term for chains in chainlist twh_ec_atomlist_slab: calculate energy change in slab correction term for atoms in atomlist in energy.F file: twh_ewald_slab: calculate the energy of slab correction term Accordingly, I've modified subroutines 'twh_engtotal' and 'twh_eng_print' in engtotal.F to include this slab correction term. I've also added this correction term in subroutines 'twh_energy_change' and 'twh_ec_atomlist_nonbond' in energy_change.F to account for the energy change with this slab correction term. I am testing my modified code right now, but some preliminary results are not good. So I was wondering if the modification I've done in Towhee is enough? I want this work for uvt ensemble and I was thinking if I forgot to change the corresponding codes in swap move part. Could any experienced users provide me with some guide on modifying code to serve my purpose? Any comment and advice will be appreciated. Thanks! Best regards, Kaihang |

Howdy Towhee users, Version 7.2.0 of Towhee is now available. Unusually, some of the new variables in towhee_input do not currently do anything useful. I have been rebuilding the volume move routines in order to implement a periodic determination of the pressure via a ghost volume move, but this resulted in a surprising amount of changes being required throughout the code. Normally I would not release a version with knowingly unfinished features, but there have been numerous other bug fixes during this process that justify an early release. A lot of work was done on the configurational-bias routines with particular emphasis on cyclic molecules. Some problems with the MMFF94 force field implementation were resolved, and some issues with CBMC for cyclic molecules using class-2 force fields were also fixed. Marcus -- Marcus G.

If you are doing the typical Monte Carlo cycles approach then 10^5 = 100,000 cycles is a pretty long simulation before an output and 10,000,000 cycles is very long. I would generally caution against going to such long simulations right from the start of a new project. The combination of time to equilibrate, and time to fix any human errors in the setup of the move probabilities and so forth means I like to perform many small simulations restarting from the previous output when I'm looking at a new system. Then you will also have a better feel for the time involved in a large production length simulation. Marcus -- Marcus G.

Hi all, I am new to Towhee. I want to have chemical potential vs density using GCMC. My system is pure water (TIP3P) at 300 K. In this ensemble, I could calculate density at a constant mu. But I am not sure which density I should use. After simulation, there are averages and one of them is specific density. Is the specific density averaged over all steps or after converged? And Gibbs total chemical potential is not equal to the input chemical potential (-5000). Why? I have also attached the final result and input.

Dear all, I want to calculate solubility of CO2 in a polymer system. I have used OPLS forcefield for the polymer and prepared an equilibrated system using gromacs. I want to use the same forcefield and system in towhee. But I found out that for the same atomtypes of OPLS, towhee vibcoeff(1) values does not match with the bond constant values of opls in gromacs. For standard harmonic potential, vibcoeff(1) should be equal to "kb" values of gromacs opls ff. But it is not the same. e.g towhee: C CA bond coefficient 0.141900 (should denote bond length) 0.2360085854e+06 ( should denote bond constant, vibcoeff(1)) gromacs opls forcefield i j b kb C CA 0.14900 334720.0 If vibcoeff values in towhee are in kcal/mol and kb values in gromacs are in kj/mol. Still I could not get same values after conversion. ________________________________ Disclaimer: This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the policy statement of the National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India.

Hi there, I got some hint on setting slit pore using hard walls separations from previous postings. However, the thickness of the hard walls increased the volume of the simulation box a lot if the slit pores are very narrow. Since the probability of accepted MC moves will be affected by the box volume, I worry we might get a systematic error here. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts.
