Straight Chain Alkane

Straight-Chain Alkane Generator

This module performs basic geometry to compute the positions of the carbons and hydrogens in an arbitrary length straight-chain alkane. The resulting alkane will have carbon-carbon bonds determined by c_c_bond parameter and carbon- hydrogen bonds determined by the h_c_bond parameter. All angles will be set to 109.5 (idealized tetrahedron).

TODO: Expose the bond length and angle parameters. TODO: Use non-idealized angles. TODO: Make masses parameters.

Module Inputs

This section details the full list of inputs that the module accepts. Inputs that are not listed as optional must have their value set before the module can be run. Inputs can be set manually by calling the module’s change_input function or by passing arguments to a property type.

Quick Reference

The following table provides a quick summary of the inputs available to this module. The columns are:

  • Key: The key used to retrieve the option,

  • Default : The initial value, if one exists, and

  • Description : A human readable description of what the option is used for.

Key

Default

Description

String

N/A

The string identifying the desired molecule

Detailed Descriptions

The following subsections provide detailed descriptions of each input recognized by this module. The subsection headings are the name of the input. Within each subsection we list:

  • Description : A human readable description of what the option is used for.

  • Default Value : The initial value, if one exists.

  • Optional? : Whether the value must be set inorder for the module to run.

  • Opaque? : Does the value of the input influence memoization?.

  • Domain Restrictions : Criteria a value must obey to be deemed valid.

String

  • Description : The string identifying the desired molecule

  • Default Value : N/A

  • Optional? : False

  • Opaque? : True

  • Domain Restrictions :

    • Type == std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>

Module Results

This section tabulates the full list of results that the module returns. The columns respectively are:

  • Key: What the result is called

  • Type: The C++ type of the result

  • Description: What the result is/how it was computed.

Note

A given property type will only return a subset of the available results. Additional results can be accessed by using other property types or by using the Module class’s advanced API.
