NAME
ffscan VERSION 3.2.0

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The ffscan program performs a single point energy and force calculation in which the force field is modified. This way a range of parameters can be changed and tested for reproduction of e.g. quantum chemical or experimental data. A grid scan over the parameters is done as specified using command line arguments. All parameters that reproduce the energy within a given absolute tolerance are printed to a log file. Obviously polarizable models can be used, and shell optimisation is performed if necessary. Also, like in mdrun table functions can be used for user defined potential functions. If the option -ga with appropriate file is passed, a genetic algorithm will be used rather than a grid scan.
