  Public Methods
SymmMolecularCoor (Ref< Molecule > &mol)
SymmMolecularCoor (StateIn &)
SymmMolecularCoor (const Ref< KeyVal > &)
The KeyVal constructor.
virtual ~SymmMolecularCoor ()
void save_data_state (StateOut &)
Save the base classes (with save_data_state) and the members in the same order that the StateIn CTOR initializes them.
void form_coordinates (int keep_variable=0)
Actually form the variable and constant internal coordinates from simple internal coordinates.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The SymmMolecularCoor class derives from IntMolecularCoor.

It provides a unique set of totally symmetric internal coordinates. Giving an MolecularEnergy object a coor is usually the best way to optimize a molecular structure. However, for some classes of molecules SymmMolecularCoor doesn't work very well. For example, enediyne can cause problems. In these cases, cartesian coordinates (obtained by not giving the MolecularEnergy object the coor keyword) might be better or you can manually specify the coordinates that the SymmMolecularCoor object uses with the variable keyword (see the IntMolecularCoor class description).

CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION

  sc::SymmMolecularCoor::SymmMolecularCoor (const Ref< KeyVal > &)

The KeyVal constructor.

change_coordinates
     If true, the quality of the internal coordinates will be checked periodically and if they are beginning to become linearly dependent a new set of internal coordinates will be computed. The default is false.

max_kappa2
     A measure of the quality of the internal coordinates. Values of the 2-norm condition, , larger than max_kappa2 are considered linearly dependent. The default is 10.0.

transform_hessian
     If true, the hessian will be transformed every time the internal coordinates are formed. The default is true.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

  void sc::SymmMolecularCoor::init () [protected, virtual]

This is called by the constructors of classes derived from IntMolecularCoor.

It initialized the lists of simple internal coordinates, and then calls the form_coordinates() member.

Reimplemented from sc::IntMolecularCoor.

  void sc::SymmMolecularCoor::save_data_state (StateOut &) [virtual]

Save the base classes (with save_data_state) and the members in the same order that the StateIn CTOR initializes them.

This must be implemented by the derived class if the class has data.

Reimplemented from sc::IntMolecularCoor.
