Hi, Mark, I use the command: grompp -f md.mdp -c eq2.gro -p conf.top -n md.ndx -o md.tpr -t eq2.trr and index file was makde from command make_ndx, I named the two methanes as methane1 and methane2. and my mdp file is :
integrator = sd ld_seed = -1 ; start time and timestep in ps tinit = 0 dt = 0.002 nsteps = 25000000 ; number of steps for center of mass motion removal = nstcomm = 100 ; OUTPUT CONTROL OPTIONS ; Output frequency for coords (x), velocities (v) and forces (f) = nstxout = 25000000 nstvout = 25000000 nstfout = 0 ; Output frequency for energies to log file and energy file nstlog = 500 ; every 1 ps nstenergy = 50000 ; every 100 ps ; Output frequency and precision for xtc file nstxtcout = 50 ; every 0.1 ps xtc-precision = 10000 xtc_grps = system ; NEIGHBORSEARCHING PARAMETERS ; nblist update frequency = nstlist = 10 ; ns algorithm (simple or grid) ns_type = grid ; Periodic boundary conditions: xyz or none pbc = xyz ; nblist cut-off rlist = 1.0 domain-decomposition = no ; Turn off intermolecular interaction between CH4: energygrp_excl = Methane1 Methane2 ; OPTIONS FOR ELECTROSTATICS AND VDW ; Method for doing electrostatics coulombtype = pme ;rcoulomb-switch = 0 rcoulomb = 1.0 ; Dielectric constant (DC) for cut-off or DC of reaction field epsilon-r = 1 ; Method for doing Van der Waals vdw-type = switch ; cut-off lengths rvdw = 0.9 rvdw-switch = 0.8 ; Apply long range dispersion corrections for Energy and Pressure DispCorr = EnerPres ; OPTIONS FOR TEMPERATURE COUPLING tc_grps = system tau_t = 1.0 ; Langevin friction constant (ps) ref_t = 300 ;OPTIONS FOR PRESSURE COUPLING Pcoupl = No pcoupltype = isotropic tau_p = 5.0 compressibility = 4.5e-05 ref_p = 1.0 ; GENERATE VELOCITIES FOR STARTUP RUN gen_vel = no ; OPTIONS FOR BONDS constraints = hbonds ; Type of constraint algorithm constraint-algorithm = Lincs ; Do not constrain the start configuration unconstrained-start = yes ******************************************************* I can't understand why Methane1 is not an energy group.
