Notes:

  • dreiding.ff currently lives in the testing/ directory since it is a rule-based forcefield and is currently being rewritten.
  • Generated terms should be checked by hand if forcefield expressions are exported.
  • Detection of some atomtypes, namely transition metals, is imperfect.
  • Warning: Generation of terms (especially angles) needs to undergo proper testing! If you wish to help, please contact me.
