Monitored Distances Panel

This panel is used to set up distances to be monitored during a dynamics simulation. Results are saved in the .mmo file.

To open this panel, click Distances in the Monitor tab of the Dynamics panel or the MC/SD panel.

Using the Monitored Distances Panel

To define a distance to be monitored, choose Atom or Bond from the Pick menu, and click on two atoms or one bond in the Workspace. When the distance is defined, the two atoms appear in the list at the top of the panel. The defined distances are marked with a purple dotted line and eye icon. The selected distance is distinguished by a thicker line.

To redefine an item, select it in the list and then pick the atoms or bond in the Workspace.

To delete a distance from the list, select it in the list and click Delete. To delete all monitored distances, click Delete All.
