Dear Mark,

I read the manual few times looking for a clue. The only thing I could understand it that epsilon_rf is not taking inti account if I don't use reaction field.

Best, Itamar.

Dear all,

I wish to calculate the dielectric constant of small molecules liquids.
In order to do so, I am simulating the system using PME, with epsilon_r
               = 1.

I have few questions:
1. What is the meaning of epsilon_rf when I am using PME, if it
important, what it should be?


Have you looked in section 7.3?


2. Whet is the best way to calculate the dielectric constant of the
simulation box, does g_dipole is enough or should I use g_dielectric also.

You need to use g_dipoles -epsilonRF 0 if you have used defaults for PME. If you have used another dielectric for PME (epsilon_surface) then you need to change that in the input to g_dipoles as well.
