[gmx-users] NVE run

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

There's no way to say. Those numbers would be more indicative of a problem
if the system was small, or the simulation was short, but we don't know
those (and there are many algorithm settings that contribute). What you
really need is to know whether the quality of your observables is degraded
over the time scale of the simulation; at best energy conservation is only
a proxy for that. See thoughts at
