Greetings!

I am running a modified version of Gromacs 3.3 that calls the do_nonbonded subroutine twice, in order to calculate specific interactions. Unfortunately for my purposes, the settle restraints (which I would assume to be a 'bonded' interaction) seem to be called within the nb_kernel. Is there a flag that I can reset within gromacs to temporarily turn off the subroutine that runs the settle potential calculation? I have been searching, but cannot seem to find where this is even called. If I run a single step MD run without settle (define = -DFLEXIBLE, with SPC/E force constants set to zero) then I obtain the correct coulombic interaction potential, otherwise there is a discrepancy.

Currently, the non_bonded subroutine is called using the following:

  if (fcoul) /* added */
      do_nonbonded(fplog,cr,fr,x,fcoul,md, /* added */
                 grps->estat.ee[egCOULSR], /* added */
                 grps->estat.ee[egCOULSR],box_size,nrnb, /* added */
                 lambda,&dvdlambda,FALSE,-1,-1,bDoForces); /* added */

Also, I am surprised that by substituting the COULSR table where the LJ table is usually passed allows for the complete neglect of LJ without the (expected?) doubling of the coulombic force, although the coulombic potential is doubled. I believe I read in the code that there is a check in the inner loop to make sure that no forces are redundantly calculated, but any further clarification would be appreciated (as this was discovered empirically).

Thanks in advance!
Justin
