Hi Nagendra, GridForces has the ability among others to apply a voltage
that depends on the position in space.
You'll need to create an OpenDX file for your potential for your decaying
voltage. One way that I used for this was a Python script that uses the
gridData module packaged with MDAnalysis. There are certainly other
solutions.
