[gmx-users] Gromacs versions 4.0.5 and 4.5.4

[Itamar Kass]

Hi Sopna,

First, can you attached the crash report of GROMACS 4.5, so we can have a look on it? Second, are you doing EM and PR before you run it using 4.5? Even if you transfer a stable system from 4.0 it might need some equilibration before you actually run MD, specifically if you assign new velocities to atoms.

Cheers,
Itamar

I think it is related to constraints but I am unable to figure out exactly what is different. I have pasted both my topology and mdp (updated for 4.5.4) files. Any ideas? I have read through the manual and it seems like the mdp files does not need any changes, but perhaps I am missing something.

What that mean? You better give a number bigger than 0.

Just a remark, you can use -1 here for a random number base on time and process number.

Any reason why not to using LINCS?
