Hi Justin,

I chose my whole system of 2000 water molecules. I discussed this plot with someone and they said that rdf can be plotted for atoms as well as whole molecules and that the shape of my rdf plot was not a problem of my having used the whole system (I am not really sure about this).


I would disagree. The default method of RDF calculation is by atom (see g_rdf -h, specifically the -rdf flag!), as RDF are often plotted between pairs of atom types (O-O, O-H, H-H in the case of water). Try again using a proper calculation method.

The length of my run was 8 ns (8000 ps). The energy values don't change much so I think the system is pretty equilibrated. I have included below the results of my last two run continuations of 2000 ps each (I had to extend the run to ensure equlibration):

For the extension from 4000 ps to 6000 ps, I have the results,

Statistics over 3000001 steps [ 0.0000 thru 6000.0005 ps ], 10 data sets
All averages are exact over 3000001 steps

For extension from 6000 ps to 8000 ps, the results are:
