I would really feel 4 ps a too high value, even for water systems, but will look around before decision. Anyway, I'm still concerned about the compressibility value. Long time ago in this list I came to this question, and this is how this ended: **>* Hi, *>* *>* Just use the water value for any liquid system (5e-5 or so). *> * *>* As the manual explains, it only affects the coupling time, not the *>* equilibrium pressure. *> This is valid for long times, and (as always for pressure) assumes the external coupling to be clearly slower than the internal dynamics. I have no idea how Amber or DLPOLY sets their tau_t with Nose or Parinello-Rahman, but as specified in the Gromacs manual we use the period of average fluctuations at equilibrium. With tau=0.1 the system will very likely never reach that equilibrium.
