Actions

The following actions are part of this module

Name Description
BESSEL Calculate the value of a Bessel function.
BETWEEN Use a switching function to determine how many of the input variables are within a certain range.
COMBINE Calculate a polynomial combination of a set of other variables.
CUSTOM Calculate a combination of variables using a custom expression.
ENSEMBLE Calculates the replica averaging of a collective variable over multiple replicas.
FUNCPATHGENERAL This function calculates path collective variables (PCVs) using an arbitrary combination of collective variables.
FUNCPATHMSD This function calculates path collective variables.
FUNCSUMHILLS This function is intended to be called by the command line tool sum_hills. It is meant to integrate a HILLS file or an HILLS file interpreted as a histogram in a variety of ways. It is, therefore, not expected that you use this during your dynamics (it will crash!)
HIGHEST This function can be used to find the highest colvar by magnitude in a set.
LESS_THAN Use a switching function to determine how many of the input variables are less than a certain cutoff.
LOCALENSEMBLE Calculates the average over multiple arguments.
LOWEST This function can be used to find the lowest colvar by magnitude in a set.
MATHEVAL An alias to the CUSTOM function that can also be used to calaculate combinations of variables using a custom expression.
MEAN Calculate the arithmetic mean of the elements in a vector
MOMENTS Calculate central moments from the distribution of input quantities
MORE_THAN Use a switching function to determine how many of the input variables are more than a certain cutoff.
PIECEWISE Compute a piece wise straight line through its arguments that passes through a set of ordered control points.
PRODUCT Calculate the product of the input quantities
SORT This function can be used to sort colvars according to their magnitudes.
STATS Calculates statistical properties of a set of collective variables with respect to a set of reference values.
SUM Calculate the sum of the arguments
