STEER_PATH

 NAME
STEER_PATH – Steer along an arbitrary curvilinear coordinate or perform alchemical transformation.
 SYNOPSIS
STEER_PATH OPEN filename
 DESCRIPTION
This command allows to do a MD simulation by steering the system along an arbitrary curvilinear path with arbitrary time protocol in a $n$-dimensional coordinate space (see Sec. 8.3). This curvilinear coordinate and time protocol can be given in terms of time dependent added stretching, bending and torsions external potentials to be specified in the file filename. The format of this file is shown in Table 8.3. Refer to Sec. 8.3 for more details.

or

STEER_PATH ALCHEMY filename

 DESCRIPTION
This command allows alchemical transformations using a time protocol specified in the file filename. See DEFINE_ALCHEMICAL_ATOM command for details on alchemical transformations.
