[gmx-users] NVT Equilibration

[Dallas Warren]

Ravi, not entirely sure what you are actually doing / aiming to do, but another option is to run the system NPT, which means the box size will scale to give the correct pressure / density, then you take that and run your NVT run.  But that means you will end up with possibly a substantially smaller box, which may be an issue.  But, closer you are to the correct starting point when you build the box the better.

Catch ya,
