Simple expressions for the forces due to dihedral‐angle interactions are derived using first principles of mechanics. The expressions require significantly fewer numerical operations than those generally used in the literature and provide insight into the physics of dihedral‐angle interactions. It is also shown that the scalar virial due to angle‐dependent interactions is zero.
