[gmx-users] PME on a non-neutral system

[Smith, Micholas D.]

Albert,

Gromacs won't automatically neutralize the system (as far as I know). If I recall being non-neutral doesn't necessarily result in problems, but may instead slow your run-time. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Subject: [gmx-users] PME on a non-neutral system

Hi all,
I accidentally rerun a trajectory that is not neutral, but that has a
net charge of +2e. However, the system did not explode and the forces
were not infinite, although I used PME. Is Gromacs neutralising the
system automatically?

Thanks,
Albert
