Did you try to remove the "_" from your file name?

Dear gmx-users,
I’m trying to perform some REMD calculations with GROMACS 4.0.5, and I found on the Wiki site these instructions:

http://oldwiki.gromacs.org/index.php/REMD

that I’m trying to follow, but I encountered some problems.
If I understand well the instructions, if I want to perform replicas at N different temperatures, I have to create N different .mdp files and then N different .tpr files, that I should name “filename”_0, “filename”_1... "filename”_N-1. That’s what I did: I created 16 different .mdp files and 16 .tpr files that I called REMD_0.tpr. REMD_1.tpr REMD_2.tpr ... REMD_15.tpr. At this point, I have to laun ch the mdrun command with the –multi, -replex (optionally, -reseed) options. Following the example in "Execution step", my command line should be:

mdrun –s REMD_.tpr –multi 16 –replex 1000 –deffnm REMD_ -np 16

That's what I did, but I experienced some difficulties on the parallel machines that I’m using to perform simulations. In particul ar, I inserted the above command into a script that is used on the m achine to launch the program in an interactive way, but GROMACS retu rns an error saying that “cannot open file REMD_.tpr” (and in fact, the file REMD_.tpr does not exist, only files REMD_0.tpr, REMD _1.tpr etc do exist!) I also retried launching the same command from the shell, but the error was the same. So my question is: how does GROMACS “understand” that it has to interpret “REMD_.tpr” not as a single file, but as a group of files indexed _0, _1, _2 and so on? Does it depend on the order of t he options? Could you please give me some hints about?

BTW, another problem: I tried to find solution searching in the oldwww.gromacs.org site, but I am still unable to consult the gmx-users archives using a keyword as it was possible in the past. How can I find information in the GROMACS archives?

Many thanks and regards
Anna
