โฆ Synopsis
A new algorithm is developed to integrate Newton's equations for rigid molecules in MD simulations. The procedure integrates the equations for the center of mass and the principal axes of the moment of inertia tensor with the aid of the Verlet algorithm. Explicit equations are derived and complications of the method of constraints are avoided. The new method is fast and stable as is demonstrated in applications for NH 3, H20 and CF4.
