Hi all,
In the bond_angle_harmonic routine shouldn't there be a check for
cosine > 1.0. In other words, I think the code should be corrected as:
#ifdef BOND_ANGLE_HARMONIC
{
double phi,sinphi;
if ( cosine > TINY_COS_VALUE ) cosine = TINY_COS_VALUE;
if ( cosine < -TINY_COS_VALUE) cosine = -TINY_COS_VALUE;
phi = acos(-cosine);
sinphi = sin(phi);
if ( sinphi < TINY_SIN_VALUE ) sinphi = TINY_SIN_VALUE;
fac *= (phi - iaparams->p.angle.phi0)/sinphi;
}
#endif
If everybody agrees, I will add this to the cvs.
P.S. I originally send this message to address@hidden But since
that email did not show up in the email-thread, I am re-sending the message.
Is address@hidden still in use?
And I already got an answer from Hanjo to the email sent to address@hidden,
which was:
> So far we have the checks only for functions with a singularity when
> cosine is aproaching 1 (and sinphi is aproaching 0). Can the scalar
> product yield values >1 ( <-1)? (which would yield an error in the acos

Does everyone agree? Any objections?
Greetings from Istanbul,
Mehmet
