[gmx-users] affect of water removal on subsequent energy calculations

[Harry Mark Greenblatt]

B”SD

In an effort to reduce the size of output xtc files of simulations of large systems, we thought of saving these files without water molecules.

  It occurred to us, however, that upon subsequent cpu-only reruns in order to do energy calculations, these results would be adversely affected, since the water molecules are not stored in the xtc file.

Is this indeed a concern?

Thanks

Harry
