Table 1. Penalties as implemented by DAMMIN and DAMMIF by function and type.

Explicit penalties are configurable and may be disabled; implicit penalties are enforced and may not be disabled.

		Function				DAMMIN	DAMMIF
Peripheral penalty (gradually decreasing)		Keeps the particle beads close to the origin at high temperatures				Explicit
Disconnectivity penalty		Ensures that the model is interconnected				Explicit	Implicit
Looseness penalty		Ensures that the model is compact				Explicit	Explicit
Anisometry penalty (with symmetries only)		Specifies whether the model should be oblate or prolate				Explicit	Explicit
Centre/ penalty		Keeps the centre of mass of the model close to the origin					Explicit
