FAKE
This is part of the colvar module

This is a fake colvar container used by cltools or various other actions and just support input and period definition

The atoms involved can be specified using
ATOMS the fake atom index, a number is enough. For more information on how to specify lists of atoms see Groups and Virtual Atoms
Compulsory keywords
PERIODIC if the output of your function is periodic then you should specify the periodicity of the function. If the output is not periodic you must state this using PERIODIC=NO,NO (one for the lower and the other for the upper boundary). For multicomponents then it is PERIODIC=mincomp1,maxcomp1,mincomp2,maxcomp2 etc
Options
NUMERICAL_DERIVATIVES ( default=off ) calculate the derivatives for these quantities numerically
NOPBC

( default=off ) ignore the periodic boundary conditions when calculating distances

COMPONENTS

additional components that this variable is supposed to have. Periodicity is ruled by PERIODIC keyword

Examples
FAKE ATOMS=1 PERIODIC=-3.14,3.14   LABEL=d2
