[gmx-users] Fwd: tau-t effects on sd integrator

Dear all,

I was trying to simulate lysozyme and polymer in water model tip3p using
charmm36 force field at 500K on Gromacs 5.1.2. The software ran on GPU and
the system size was about 60,000 atoms. I used sd as integrator and the
tau-t option was 0.1. I wondered if there is any problem with this option
for the suggested tau-t is 0.2 in manual. If is, how this influence the
result?

Here is my full .mdp file:
