[gmx-users] parameters in *.mdp files

[Shima Arasteh]

Hi all,

In some simulations that I've studied, the "tcoupl"s chosen in nvt.mdp , npt.mdp or md.mdp are the same. Is it necessary to use the same temperature coupling parameters in .mdp files? Generally, which parameters are supposed to be the same in .mdp files of a simulation? 


If a more accurate thermostat is used in a simulation, would it increase the time of simulation? What kind of simulations worthwhile a more accurate thermostats?

I'm looking forward to get your replies. Thanks in advance.




Sincerely,
Shima
