Definition

The radial distance of the point from z-axis of re-oriented coordinate system along principal moments of the tensor inertia I.

 

The z-axis can be reoriented to any axis of the re-oriented coordinate system.

The relation between re-oriented (') and native coordinate system is given by the transformation matrix T:

Specification

Section name: ORAD

Key Type Default Description




name string unique CV name
group_a mask atoms specifying the point A
z_direction mask single atom specifying the end of approximate z-direction vector of the re-oriented coordinate system. The vector origin is in Acom. The atom must be member of the group A.
direction x, y, z determine direction of z-axis in the re-oriented coordinate system
