[gmx-users] RE: [nonbond_params] section , choice of parameters

[Florian Dommert]

Hello,

 the method I know to obtain just a repulsive LJ potential is to
calculate the minimum of the potential, then set the cut-off to the
minimum and shift the whole potential by the amount of the minimum. Then
you just have a repulsive LJ interaction. However as soon as more than
one particle type is involved you will run into problems with this
method, because different cutoffs will arise. So it will be necessary to
form tables and use them.
