[gmx-users] How to modify code so that rlist > rcoulomb

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

PME-switch does not shift, it only switches.
It does not make sense to use plain PME with a cut-off,
but also this in impossible with the way the Gromacs innerloops work.
For a detailed (and long) discussion on this topic see:

Hi Berk,
Thanks for your response. I am trying to simulate the following options,
ns_type         = gridrlist                = 3.2coulombtype = pmercoulomb       = 1.0vdw-type        = cut-offrvdw               = 3.0fourierspacing  = 0.12pme_order       = 4ewald_rtol      = 1e-5optimize_fft    = yes
I tried the following with gromacs 3.3.99_development_200800503,
ns_type         = gridrlist                = 3.2coulombtype = pme-switchrcoulomb       = 1.0rcoulomb_switch = 0.0vdw-type        = shiftrvdw               = 3.0rvdw_switch   = 0.0fourierspacing  = 0.12pme_order       = 4ewald_rtol      = 1e-5optimize_fft    = yes
and it works. I want something similar to PME-Switch (rlist > rcoulomb) but without shifting the real space coulomb part.  Is this possible? When I try the option rcoulomb_switch > rcoulomb, it gives an error.
Thanks,Jeetain
