[gmx-users] pure methane condensation in NVT simulation

[Alex]

"Common NVT" and not properly set up NPT for organic fluid simulations?
What could possibly go wrong...

Dear all,
      We are trying some MD simulations with Gromacs recently. And we found
some weird phenomenon in our test. We have about 20k pure methane in a long
box(4 x 4 x 180 nm). We use OPLS-UA for methane molecule. After a 70ns of
common NVT simulation, we found the methane begin to condensate. The
simulation box shows like
        [methane|    vacuum    |       methane     |    vacuum   |methane]
.
But at the temperature we simulate, the methane should be in gas phase.

     Does anyone have any clue how this happens?




Thanks
