[gmx-users] total time for MDsimulation

[Maik Goette]

Hi

I am surely no expert at assuming the optimal time length of a MDrun, 
but what I can say is, that
1. The position restrained run is for equilibrium of the water (or 
better solvent molecules incl. ions) and in that case not able to be 
included into the whole time scale evaluation
2. 1 ns (and it depends a bit on the system and your goals, I guess) is 
the time one should use as minimum runtime.
