OpenMMState
public class State extends Object
A State object records a snapshot of the current state of a simulation at a point in time. You create it by calling getState() on a Context. When a State is created, you specify what information should be stored in it. This saves time and memory by only copying in the information that you actually want. This is especially important for forces and energies, since they may need to be calculated. If you query a State object for a piece of information which is not available (because it was not requested when the State was created), it will throw an exception.
