kappa

   kappa {format} {path}

This command allows APBS to read the ion-accessibility function mapped to a mesh. The inputs are maps of ion accessibility values which range between 0 and the build Debye-Hückel screening parameter; these values have units of Å-2. In general, this command will read kappa-maps written by write commands in earlier APBS calculations.

NOTE: if you choose this option, you must also include a read diel statement.

Arguments for this command are:

format
The format of the kappa map. Acceptable values include:
dx
OpenDX format
gz
gzipped (zlib) compressed OpenDX format. Files can be read directly in compressed form.
path
The location of the kappa map file.
