Ewald

fourierspacing: (0.12) [nm]
-
The maximum grid spacing for the FFT grid when using PPPM or PME. -For ordinary Ewald the spacing times the box dimensions determines the -highest magnitude to use in each direction. In all cases -each direction can be overridden by entering a non-zero value for -fourier_n[xyz]. +
For ordinary Ewald, the ratio of the box dimensions and the spacing +determines a lower bound for the number of wave vectors to use in each +(signed) direction. For PME and PPPM, that ratio determines a lower bound +for the number of Fourier-space grid points that will be used along that +axis. In all cases, the number for each direction can be overridden by +entering a non-zero value for fourier_n[xyz]. For optimizing the relative load of the particle-particle interactions -and the mesh part of PME it is useful to know that +and the mesh part of PME, it is useful to know that the accuracy of the electrostatics remains nearly constant when the Coulomb cut-off and the PME grid spacing are scaled by the same factor.
