[gmx-users] periodic molecule

[Valentina]

Hello!

I have a surface, formed by Mg2Al(OH)6.

All of the O are bonded with Al, by such forming a mesh.
I am using periodic_molecule=yes
as discussed in this thread:
http://gromacs.5086.x6.nabble.com/generating-user-defined-topologies-for-surfaces-td5010192.html#a5010234

I set up the topology for the small unit shown in blue frame on this picture
-
http://gromacs.5086.x6.nabble.com/file/n5010233/Screen_Shot_2013-07-31_at_13.41.17.png

Then I make a big layered structure of 4 x 4 x 4 of such units and do energy
minimisation, using following script:
integrator               = steep
nsteps                   = 5000
emtol                    = 10
emstep                   = 0.01
nstxout                  = 1 
nstenergy                = 1
rlist                    = 1.0
pbc                      = xyz
periodic_molecules       = yes
coulombtype              = PME
rcoulomb                 = 1.0              
vdw-type                 = cut-off
rvdw                     = 1.0

And my Al that had bonds across periodic system  (al2 and al3)  move  - see
movie:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Qm4snFANimRXZ3QTlVQ1J0MlE/edit?usp=sharing

Colour coding: al2 is shown as large cyan and al3 is shown as large blue.
al1 is shown in small cyan - it's the only al that does not do a big move.
all mg are shown in pink



I am not sure - have I set up periodic molecule wrong?

My molecule.rtp for the using looks like:

Where al2 and al3 have bonds (and angles) across periodic bond.

Have I done a mistake in a set up? Shall I rather have a specbond file?!

Thank you for help!
