Combination of force fields

We have proposed in SAMSON several modules related to force fields, that can be used as soft constraints applied to a system. We have proposed a force field that sums up the contributions of two given force fields for a given system. Another force field was developed based on three force fields, where the first one concerns one part of the system, the second one an another part and the last one the interaction between these two parts. We have also added elementary force fields for the standard interactions that may be represented classical force fields: bond springs, angle bend springs, torsion springs, Steric clash and Van der Waals interactions.
