[gmx-users] pressure scaling

[Mungikar, Amol Arvind (UMR-Student)]

Hi,
Few questions and suggestions ----
1. Check for the initial box configuration! how are u generating the initial configuration!!
2. Knowing the exact density you can use 'editconf -density ' option to get the exact density
3. Also, try several values of 'tau_p' before settling with one particular value.
4. Do you think berendesen coupling would be good in this case!
I hope this helps!

	hi all,
	       I am doing high temperature simulations(400k) at constant
	pressure(15bar, to keep water in liquid state)
	the parameters in mdp file are:
	Pcoupl                   = Berendsen
	Pcoupltype               = Isotropic
	tau_p                    = 1.0
	compressibility          = 4.5e-5
	ref_p                    = 15.0
	i varied 15 to 25 bars am geeting same kind of results
