[gmx-users] RE: Martini with PME, temp two low

[ABEL Stephane 175950]

Xavier, 

as i said in my message, this nstlist value is not optimal, but it works !!! if wlll try a higher nstlist value, if I have same problem in futur simulations 

Thanks again for you help 

Stephane

Good. Note however that we do get the right temperature with a dt=20fs with Martini so you energy leak might be in the cutoff scheme or the system is really badly equilibrated.
