Hello, everyone,

I have some questions about ensemble. Would you please tell me about NPT or NVT ensemble? What difference about them? And how to define in the molecular dynamics mdp file? What ensemble does the below parameters extracted from my mdp file?


NPT = constant Number of molecules, Pressure, Temperature
NVT = constant Number of molecules, Volume, Temperature

If you are blindly writing .mdp parameters without knowing what you are doing, you had better re-think your approach. Your comments in the file will tell you what you are doing. Sounds like some textbook reading (regarding ensembles) would be useful, as well as a thorough read of the Gromacs manual to learn what the options are doing.

Thank you for your kind consideration of these questions.
