Dear Martina,

As far as I know, the set_bilayer routine creates a 2d grid in order to prepare for a modes analysis (which will be called in simplebilayer.tcl when reaching the line 'lappend analysis_flags fluctuations'). It's useful for different things, one of them being the fourier spectrum of fluctuations of your bilayer.

 

 * Easy answer #1: if you have 'fftw' on your system (calculates fast fourier transform): look into the $ESPRESSO/obj-XXX/config.log file where you can check whether Espresso had successfully found a working version of fftw on your system.

Then recompile Espresso after uncommenting the following line in $ESPRESSO/myconfig-sample.h (or $ESPRESSO/myconfig.h if you have one):

#define MODES

 * Easy answer #2: if you don't have 'fftw' and don't want to install it now: you can do a little hack by removing the command to 'set_bilayer'. This will prevent setting up the 2d grid in order to do FFTs. Here's what to do: go to $ESPRESSO/packages/mbtools/analysis/analysis.tcl

look for the 'set_bilayer' command, and comment the line.

HOWEVER, there will obviously be some analysis features in mbtools that will crash - because they use FFTs! As you might have discovered, analysis features are turned on/off in the simulation parameter script, aka simplebilayer.tcl. At the end of that file, you'll have to get rid of all of these analysis features:

- orient_order

- flipflop

- stray

- fluctuations

- density profile

These are usually placed at the end of the file, called by appending the analysis_flags variable.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Tristan

Dear all,
i started, succesfully, all  scripts in the samples folder of Espresso.
Now  i am trying to use the mbtools scripts, in particular i'm interested in the simplebilayer.tcl; but when i start the script i, allways, obtain an error message and the job crash:
The operation "set_bilayer" you requested is not implemented.
 
Curiously in the ug of Espresso at page 71, appear a box in the right side indicating a lot of not implemented command.
 
can someone help me in launching such script?
 
cheers 
Martina
