Hi again,

I re-did my simulations with the posted .mdp-file. The huge differences to my formerly posted file are a few vanished semicolons, and after a fine simulation-run an added dispersion correction due to a pressure that was slightly higher than expected. Did't really help, made it worse. But at least the simulations are now at the speed I expected them to be (gromacs doesen't scale that beautiful under my configuration, any suggestions???).

You're using default electrostatics and appear to have ignored the advice I made last time about following some tutorial material. Are you trying to generate random numbers and annoy people who might have some interest in helping you? :-)

Anyhow, two further questions:

First: Is the configuration with r_list = r_vdw and nst_list = 1 a good choice, especially regarding speed? Suggestions?

Forget about speed until you get a decent model of physics working. Fast and inaccurate is worse than worthless.

(I caught a glimpse at the archives of this forum and couldn't quite find out why the radius of the neighbour-list has to be smaller than r_vdw, isn't that list something similar to the verlet-neighbour-lists? Shouldn't it therefore be bigger? But in this case I'm just curious...)

That's what the early manual chapters are for.

Second: Am I simulating fixed connections?

No

Are my chosen options on the .mdp-file therefor correct?

By comparison with what?

Is gromacs doing as less as possible?

Que? We're trying to model ethane here. Try to minimize costs *after* you achieve a model that works.

Got sometimes at simulations with higher density complains 'bout constraints. Have I chosen the right configuration in the .itp-file?

That's what manual section 7.3 is for.
