<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Forgive previous email, have now installed the ALPS package and I have tutorials etc running.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am trying to develop a classical Monte Carlo simulation with long range dipole-dipole interactions, the energy of which will be calculated through an Ewald summation - does anyone have any advice on how best to approach this through ALPS (I don't want
to reinvent the wheel if there is already a way to do it in the package)?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I suppose I can just create my own classes and energy methods in a similar fashion to this example
<a href="http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Tutorials:Code-01_Python" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk90292" previewremoved="true">
http://alps.comp-phys.org/mediawiki/index.php/Tutorials:Code-01_Python</a>, where the developer defines the energy update, is this how you would recommend I do it? I'm trying to think of the most efficient way from a development point of view.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks all, great package by the way,</p>
<p>Andy McMahon.</p>
