Miscellaneous Notes
  • Do not remove the '======' separator lines.
  • Units are in kcal/mol, Angstroms, degrees, amu unless otherwise specified
  • Sections can be in any order; i.e. BENDS can come before BONDS.
  • All keywords are case sensitive and most are in ALL-CAPS
  • Input is all free format
  • Blank lines will be ignored
  • Comment lines can be added to parameter data sections by beginning the line with the '#' symbol.

Example:

 H H 1.0080
 HC H 1.0080
    # example of comment line denoted with # mark.
 H1 H 1.0080
 H2 H 1.0080

4.3 A (partial) Example File

In this section we provide an example force field file to illustrate the format of the file. Only a limited number of parameters are included. A detailed description of each section of the force field file is provided in the next section.
