Hi Lazaro,
Please upload your minim.mdp file and potential plot say on your google drive/ one drive/ dropbox. Make it shareable and provide the link to it here. I do vacuum simulations, so I can guide you.

Dear Justin
As per table 5.14 in manual, For angle restraints it selects
[image: image.png]
Also in manual under heading *Angle restraints*, it is mentioned that these
are used to restrain the angle between two pairs of particles or between
one pair of particles and the ?-axis.
Could you please correct me in setting this?
Thanks.
Sadaf

I've never used angle restraints, but clearly grompp is not expecting 4
atoms, as its error message clearly states. It is expecting to read 3
atoms, like a conventional angle.
Either there is a bug in the code or a bad description in the manual;
you'll need to look into which that is and please submit a bug report

Hi,
I am trying to generate an alternating e-field using gromcas input as following:
electric-field-x = 1.5 1 0 0
E0= 2 V/nm, omega = 1 cycle/ps
This means a cosine wave of magnitude 1.5 eV/nm and 1 cycle per pico-second.
I ran this input with mdrun -field option for a sanity check.
I plotted field.xvg .
Surprisingly, the plot (attached) is NOT showing 1 full cycle in a 1-ps period.
It is only 1/4 cycle of a cosine wave.
So, can you please point out what is that I am missing here?
Thanks,
PKN\\

Please ignore my message.
I figured it out.
It should be 2*pi*1 = 6.28 for omega to generate a full cycle.

Hi, my name is Lazaro. I have done calculations using QM methods. But I am starting now to learn MD and I am using Gromacs 2020.1. I want to run simulations in vacuum for small deoxynucleosides and ribonucleosides (around 32 atoms) with the finality to initially optimize these molecules relaxing all position (find the most stable structure) to use this structure as input for DFT calculations in the future.
I have study from the manual and thegromacs.org_gmx-users at maillist.sys.kth.se tutorials and have successfully run a couple of simulations of the adenosine in water environment.
But when I try to run the simulation in vacuum I have some problems. If I create a box, but from there instead of fill it with water I go directly and try to do an energy minimization, when I visualize the potential it decrease but the curve does not look like the examples or like when I do the simulation in vacuum.
Do you think this is correct? or is correct how I am proceeding?
Should I modified the .mdp?
I am attaching the .mdp and an image of the potential energy minimization from xmgrace.
Appreciating any help in advance
kindly,
Lazaro
