Hi all,

This seems like a really simple and silly question, but I have read through the manual and the archives and can’t seem to find anything about it.

If I were to set coulombtype = cutoff, g_energy will still calculate Coul-LR term which suggests that Gromacs calculates some long range correction term for the coulomb interactions beyond the cut-off rcoulomb. But I can’t seem to find any explanation on how the interactions beyond rcoulomb is calculated when not using Ewald or PME. Can anyone enlighten me?

GROMACS uses twin-range cutoffs, so the LR term exists when coulombtype = cutoff, rlist > rcoulomb, and is updated on nstlist steps, or something similar. Search for "twin-range" in the manual.
