Keywords

  • planes::Vector{SVector{4,Float64}} = []

Planes that make up the chemical boundary of the simulation

inside = signbit(pos ⋅ planes[bi][1:3] - planes[bi][4])

For example, a plane [1,0,0,3] is inside if x < 3 nm.

capsules[bi][1:3] is the starting point of the spine line segment (nm). capsules[bi][4:6] is the axis of the spine line segment (nm). capsules[bi][7] is the radius (nm). capsules[bi][8] is ignored.

if capsules[bi][4:6] is zero then the capsule is a sphere. Capsule boundaries can be combined with plane boundaries to create cylinder boundaries.

  • meshindex_as_chemboundary::Int = 0: Index of membrane mesh that further restricts the chem boundary. 0 for none.

The system geometry information must be up-to-date. This mesh index is not stored in the boundary object, but is directly set in the context.

MEDYAN.defer_chem_caching!

defer_chem_caching!(c::Context)::Nothing

This should only be used for advanced optimizations.

During chemistry, the context mutating functions will typically try to avoid invalidating various cached data needed to quickly sample sites.

However, if you want to mutate the context outside of chemistry, for example right before or after minimization, you may not want to pay the cost of revalidating all the caches because minimization will already invalidate the caches. Caching will be enabled again and caches will be made valid the next time chemistry is run. Caching can also be manually refreshed and reenabled with: refresh_chem_cache!

Keyword arguments changedchemstate and changedmechstate are namedtuples that shadow fields from the default chemstate and mechstate for the new link_2mon.

Keyword argument is_minimized can be used to set the new link*2mon’s is*minimized state.

Keyword argument new_lid can be optionally used to set the new link_2mon’s id, if this id is currently used, error.
