Hi all,

After a 3ns MD run, I took a look at the  .log file, and found the potential is positive. How could it be?!  I wonder what is the problem.  The standard deviation of density is small, while the SD of potential is big. Is the system not equilibrated (if yes, why the sd of density is so small?)?  Or there is something wrong with the force field (I used OPLS-aa, while some parameter of sulfonate are taken from Ionic liquid publication, because I didn't find related parameters)? Or something else I have no idea?  How to solve it?

PS: A subsequent md at lower temperature (340K) gives negative potential, however the sd of potential is still quite big: -819(+-)231 kJ/mol.

Thanks in advance if you have some suggestions!

Some parameters used:

gmx 4.0.4, T_couple=Nose-Hoover(400K), P_couple=Parrinello-Rahman (1bar), PME for coulomb and cut-off for LJ interactions.  rlist=rvdw=rcoulomb=1.0, dt=1fs and constraints=none.
