Dear gmx-users:
  Thank you for david's help again.

   I have leaver out one of the constraints( 4 5 ).
   Now that I can reproduce the exp data of density and DHvap
   
   Density: exp.(1.594) cacul.(1.572)
   DHvap:   exp.(32.54kJ/mol ) cacul.( 32.38kJ/mol)

   But I can't still the make the tau_p value more smaller.If I make the value smaller.
The problem is the same as I have report.
   
   I want to ask how to change the tau_p smaller and the simulation doesn't carsh. 


Sincerely yours
