[gmx-users] Potential energy

[Ali Alizadeh]

Dear Justin,

Thank you very much for your reply.

One point, why useless??? You meant this potential calculation is useless?

There is no .mdp option to calculate the potential energy of just a single
group.  One can excluded nonbonded interactions between pairs of groups or
decompose nonbonded energy between pairs of groups.

One could obtain "the potential energy of a group" by stripping out the
coordinates of interest from the original trajectory (with trjconv), making a
matching .tpr file (with tpbconv), then recalculating energies with mdrun
-rerun.  Such a quantity would be useless, though.
