[gmx-users] Re[2]: how many water molecule used to run MD?

CYL> Would you please explain "the short-range potential saturated"?

Usually it is the same as Lennard-Jones potential. The each side of
your box must be two times larger (see also about cut-off) than the
distance where the value of the short-range potential is (very close to) zero.

In fluids, this value is from 1.0 nm to 1.4 nm, for water it's even less.
See force field specifications for the exact models you use.


CYL> What is the short-range potential?
CYL> Also, how to measure the short-range potential?

CYL> Thank you
