[gmx-users] Equilibration from Non-shifted to Shifted Potential

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

Try it and see ;-)

mdrun -nsteps 10 -reprod -deffnm shifted
mdrun -nsteps 10 -reprod -deffnm not-shifted
gmx check -f shifted -f2 not-shifted
gmx check -e shifted -e2 not-shifted

Alternatively, given that the forces are not computed from the energies
(e.g. by central difference or some such), what role does the potential
energy play in the integration scheme? :-)

Mark
