[gmx-users] Reg; MD of DCE part II

[Dallas Warren]

>I performed md simulation of 108 dichloroethane molecules in
isothermal-isobaric ensemble with the box size

>3.002*2.17*2.17. after the simulation my box size has changed
considerably from the initial size to 2.87882 2.08095

>2.08095.why this happens?

 

Density was obviously too lower under the conditions of the simulation.
Look at the change of pressure, volume and density for the box during
that simulation.

 

>my second question is can i have a control over the box dimensions
changes during md (i.e when the box dimensions

>changes during md i want to change it only on one axis(say x axis) and
want to keep the length of the other two axis (say

>y and z) same as that of my initial box size? any help is highly
apprecited.

 

Look at the pressure coupling settings, look at anisotropic pressure
coupling.
