[gmx-users] converging value

[mohsen ramezanpour]

Dear Dr.Mark

thank you for your attention
How long is enough?
for example I have run 200 ps for making npt(p=1 bar) for my system (300
nm^3)
But the pressure is oscilating so much,and I can't be sure if it has
converged or not!
of course its average is approximately 5 bar (at the end of log file)

Do you have any idea?
I know it is not any problem if a quantity is oscilating around it's
converged value.

thanks in advance for your reply
