[gmx-users] spc vs. flex_spc

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

flex_spc is not a reliable water model, never use it for MD.
You should only use it when your initial configuration is so bad that energy
minimization with normal, rigid water molecules crashes.
However, the deviations are so small that after a few picoseconds of MD
with normal spc there will be no memory of the flex_spc initial structure.

I guess one would not use flex_spc during a production run as this would decrease the time step needed quite a lot - but is it a good idea to use during EM as the system easier relaxes?
