SimplifiedBalanceNetwork

class pylimer_tools_cpp.SimplifiedBalanceNetwork

Bases: pybind11_object

A more efficient structure of the network for use in MEHP force balance, namely MEHPForceBalance, though also passable to namely MEHPForceBalance2. Consists usually only of the cross- and slip-links (and their connectivity), i.e., no “normal strand beads” in between, in order to reduce the degrees of freedom and therewith improve performance of the solver.

A note on the terminology: a spring is the connection between two links (crosslink, entanglement-link/slip-link). A strand is a chain of connected links between two crosslinks.
