[gmx-users] non bonded interactions

[Sheyore Omovie]

Hi Xavier,
I get your point. Perhaps I should just state what I want to do.
I am trying to get a no interaction reference state for my main simulation. i.e wherein the atoms will behave like ideal gas spheres (excluded volume would not be affected). leaving the dispersion term in vdw and turning off all other non bonded may accomplished this, I guess this is not possible.
