Does the XtbForce reassign atomic charges? #11

Open kimjc95 opened 4 weeks ago

kimjc95 commented 4 weeks ago

Hello,

I have a quick question related to both OpenMM-XTB and OpenMM-ML.

I just want to make sure that partial charges and Lennard-Jones parameters of XTB or ML atoms are recalculated at each integration time step during the simulation of a mixed system. I read that nonbonded interactions between XTB atoms and MM atoms are not excluded from the calculations, so I expect that those parameters are constantly updated during the course of simulation.

If so, is there any way to alter its update frequency?

Sorry for asking a trivial question..

P.S. also sorry for posting a comment at the unrelated issues. I have erased that comment.
