Detailed Description

Named torsion (dihedral) angle.

A torsion (angle) is determined by three consecutive connections, which means by four consecutive atoms, and is defined by the two planes, one formed by A1-A2-A3, the other by A2-A3-A4

Torsion are named, such that they can be retrieved later by name. They are usually added to the entity when loaded from file. For ab-initio model building, the torsions may be added manually or by an appropriate builder from the conop module such as conop::HeuristicBuilder.

The angle of the torsion may be adjusted with via a call to XCSEditor::SetTorsionAngle.

operator bool

const

check validity of handle

check, whether the torsion handle points to a valid torsion.

Note:

It is an error to use any method other than IsValid, Impl() and operator bool() when the handle is invalid. An InvalidHandle exception will be thrown.
