[gmx-users] NVT equilibration of Ethanol in OPLSAA.

[Dallas Warren]

Sounds very much like you have an insufficient number of molecules in the box to fill it up.  If you look at the pressure data for the simulation, I suspect you will find that it is negative, the box wants to decrease in volume.

Subject: [gmx-users] NVT equilibration of Ethanol in OPLSAA.

Dear all,
             I have been trying to generate pre-equilibrated ethanol solvent box of 512 molecules in OPLSAA ff. I used ethanol.itp in oplsaa.ff directory for generating the topology file for ethanol. After NVT equilibration some of the molecules get aggregated and there is some void in the box. I tried running at faster time scales like 0.2 fs then also I was getting the same. Please help me to overcome this problem.

With regards,
