SPAM requires specifying output

Open hainm opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

This command will dump output to CpptrajState

spam peaks.xyz name SPAM cut 12.0 info spam.info out spam.dat reorder summary summary.dat

This does not: spam peaks.xyz cut 12.0 reorder

@swails I'm trying to figure out the intended behavior for SPAM here. I think the "do you want to calculate energy" part was to allow just reordering of the waters, right? Should the behavior here be that the energy calculation is disabled only if reorder is specified but cut is not specified?

Yes.

Should the behavior here be that the energy calculation is disabled only if reorder is specified but cut is not specified?

How are energies calculated? Does it use PME? Or the switched cutoff?

It's probably worth making energy calculations happen by default and then being able to turn it off with noenergy or something.

What do you think?
