Definition

This CV provides dihedral angle between three vectors. Two vectors are defined as z-axes of two reference frames superimposed to the atom groups A and B, see CV:AXANG2, and the hinge vector is defined by difference between two COMs calculated from groups C and D.

PBC note: The minimum-image convention is not used.
