[gmx-users] Does a logical pressure (1 Bar) can be reached in REMD?

[Soham Sarkar]

Thanks for your reply Justin...
But these pressure I provided here are by doing the gmx energy -f energy.edr
And then selecting the pressure from the list. It only shows these values
for respective temperature windows after 1st stage of equillibration.. What
should I do?
How do I know what is the actual pressure of my system?
Or is there any pressure convergence protocol in REMD?
Thanks in advance
