[gmx-users] Temperature without trr

Thankyou - a few hundred ps was quite doable.  Temperature is (fortunately!) consistent between groups to well within a couple of degrees, which is probably fine, but I just want to check that the temperatures from groups in g_traj are directly comparable with each other?  They're not the same as the ref_t which is consistent with g_energy, which is fine as I gather temperatures with g_traj are inherently out due to ignoring constraints; I'm assuming, though, that the different constraints from the molecules being different don't make the errors different... if you see what I mean?  i.e. that the error due to not accounting for constraints is constant.

Alan.

While I can get the *system* temperature from g_energy, it doesn't take an index file, and g_traj needs velocities (which I don't have any more).  Anyone know of a way around this, short of continuing the simulations and taking the .trr from that?

If g_energy does only give you the system T it means you have not used 
T-coupling groups and hence your Temperatures will differ between lipid 
and water. Best way to know is to continue the simulation for  few 
hundred ps and don't delete the trr :(.
