Hello Justin!

In recent literature, a pseudo-supercritical path has been used to model the melting point of crystals. To do so, the molecule starts in the liquid state, (1) has the intermolecular forces scaled down (which I did using lambda and free energy techniques), (2) the volume of the box is reduced to that of the solid state, (3) an external potential field is introduced, and then (4) the field is removed and the IMF are restored.

Does GROMACS have the capacity to introduce an FCC lattice of 3D Gaussian Wells (step 3)? I know this is also supposed to use lambda-integration as well, but I do not know what the syntax is for the mdp file.

Thanks!
