[gmx-users] zig-zag stacking

Thank You Dan and Lakshman


I will try using gmx editconf and try to translate and see if I could get the arrangement.

I am trying to create a super cell of 7x7x1 size and each unit cell has about 276 atoms, so I was trying to find out if there is any other simpler utility/program like genconf which can do zigzag stacking for such a big super cell.


Lakshman

I am not sure if I followed your suggestion,  how can we translate only one molecule in a box  using editconf?

Yes.

You'll get a fatal error from grompp.

Hi all GMX usersI did MD simulation under NPT ensembel. I evaluated potential energy during?energy minimization, equilibration, and productionMD steps.? The plot of? potential energy?indicates the nice, steady convergence of potentialenergy during energy minimization step.?The first equilibration phase has been conductedunder an NVT ensemble. The temperature of the system quickly has been reachedthe target value (300 K) during this step. The potential energy has been alsoincreased quickly and then reached to steady state. Is the system?in its minimum potential energy in this step??The potential energy has been almost constantduring the second equilibration phase and production MD.?These steps performed under NPT ensemble. Did MD sinualtion perform?appropriately? please guide me.Thanks a lot?

Hi,

I haven't tried it, but I wonder if the gmx editconf utility can be used to
translate groups of atoms, where the group is defined with an index file
(make_ndx).

Hi,

I have used gmx select to create groups of atoms for each time frame - the
indices of the atoms in each group changed with each step. Then I used this
output in other gromacs utilities such as gmx rdf.

I haven't used plumed, but from your question I believe gmx select might be
a good start for you.

Adding on to Dan?s suggestions, you can create a box containing two unit
cell using editconf (translate one molecule accordingly) and then replicate
that box using genconf to get required confirmation.

Thanks!

Okay then, all running here. Thanks.

This approach to specifically _disabling_ thermostatting in Gromacs (as
opposed to enabling it) is a revelation to me. Live and learn. Thanks.
