A Simulation ties together various objects used for running a simulation: a Topology, System, Integrator, and Context. To use it, you provide the Topology, System, and Integrator, and it creates the Context automatically. Simulation also maintains a list of "reporter" objects that record or analyze data as the simulation runs, such as writing coordinates to files or displaying structures on the screen. For example, the following line will cause a file called "output.pdb" to be created, and a structure written to it every 1000 time steps: simulation.reporters.append(PDBReporter('output.pdb', 1000)) """ def __init__(self, topology, system, integrator, platform=None, platformProperties=None): """Create a Simulation.
