[gmx-users] velocity generation in Gromacs 2016

[Kukol, Andreas]

Hello,

I always used to generate velocities for an MD run in the equilibation step by setting
gen-vel    yes
in the mdp-file. In the sample mdp-file for Gromac 2016, this option is not set. Does it mean velocities are now generated by default ?

http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/2016.1/user-guide/file-formats.html#mdp

The reason behind my question is, I actually forgot to set it and the MD-simulation seemed to run normally.

Many thanks
Andreas
