RAMD /
$\tau$RAMD
The Random Acceleration Molecular Dynamics (RAMD)
method can be used to carry out molecular dynamics simulations
with an additional randomly oriented force applied to a molecule
in the system. Originally this was implemented
from the MCM group in Amber 8 (not maintained). Recently the
Amber group has provided the functionality integrated in Amber 20
