I changed bond type to 8. In any case the two MD simulations (same harmonic potential but in analytical form vs tabulated form) gives different results. All the pararameters of the simulation are the same.

Simply changing from type 9 to 8 will generate the exclusions.

After my simulations it seems not and so I suppose that I must use bond type 8 and list the exclusion in the itp...Right?

The whole point of having a tabulated bond type 8 and 9 is that 8 does generate exclusions and 9 does not.

The results of the two simulations are different! I repeated the calculationis on just two bonded particles and I verified that when using analytical stretching potentials 1-2 LJ interactions are excluded while they are not excluded when using tabulated potential. Am I right? This should mean that I have to use a function type 8 and list explicitly the elements of the [ exclusions ] field or is there another method?

You can check for large forces with mdrun -pforce I don't know what a reasonable range of forces is, you can try 5000. If you have instabilities, you should get large forces printed before you get the fatal error.

I also carried out calculations switching off PBC or on much smaller systems. I received always the same error. I tried also a geometry optimization. It finished without warnings nor errors: anyway the potential energy changed only very slightly during the simulation with too large values.

The distance between two atoms is more than 10 times as large as your table length. Maybe you are somehow having issues with periodic boundary conditions. Is you box size close to 23? Berk Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:32:36 +0200 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [gmx-users] Tabulated potential - Problem Hi, I'm trying to carry out a CG simulation and I'm using a tabulated potential for a bond stretching term. My MD simulations stops immediately with the error message: ------------------------------------------------------- Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.0.5 Source code file: bondfree.c, line: 1772 Fatal error: A tabulated bond interaction table number 0 is out of the table range: r 23.678833, between table indices 12069 and 12070, table length 1020 ------------------------------------------------------- This should mean that some distances are beyond table length (as reported in the manual) but this is nonsense considering my input files and topology.
