68 * Helper struct that bundles data for passing it over to the force providers
70 * This is a short-lived container that bundles up all necessary input data for the
71 * force providers. Its only purpose is to allow calling forceProviders->calculateForces()
72 * with just two arguments, one being the container for the input data,

75 * Both ForceProviderInput as well as ForceProviderOutput only package existing
76 * data structs together for handing it over to calculateForces(). Apart from the
77 * POD entries they own nothing.

144 * Interface for a component that provides forces during MD.
146 * Modules implementing IMDModule generally implement this internally, and use
147 * IMDModule::initForceProviders() to register their implementation in
148 * ForceProviders.
150 * The interface most likely requires additional generalization for use in
151 * other modules than the current electric field implementation.
153 * The forces that are produced by force providers are not taken into account
154 * in the calculation of the virial. When applicable, the provider should
155 * compute its own virial contribution.
