Please keep all Gromacs-related correspondence on the gmx-users list. This has nothing to do with any of my tutorials, and as such, is better posted to the community. As I seem to post every other day or so, I am not a private tutor or help service.

The grompp.mdp file in the /share/tutor subdirectory is outdated. A quick look at the manual explains warning #1; this parameter does not exist. The other two notes are clearly explained by grompp. For the purposes of running through the example in /share/tutor, you can set -maxwarn 1 (which is not generally advisable, but in this case is OK), or modify the grompp.mdp file to contain relevant settings.

Dear Justin,

I mailed to you in the previous month about your gromacs tutorials.

now, I start with gromacs tutor sub-directory in the share folder.
for example, for both water and methanol example, when I run grompp -v
, I see these problem message:


WARNING 1 [file grompp.mdp, line unknown]:
  Unknown or double left-hand 'bd-temp' in parameter file

NOTE 1 [file grompp.mdp, line unknown]:
  The Berendsen thermostat does not generate the correct kinetic energy
  distribution. You might want to consider using the V-rescale thermostat.

NOTE 2 [file grompp.mdp, line unknown]:
  You are using a plain Coulomb cut-off, which might produce artifacts.
  You might want to consider using PME electrostatics.

Program grompp, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: gmx_fatal.c, line: 481

Fatal error:
Too many warnings (1), grompp terminated.
If you are sure all warnings are harmless, use the -maxwarn option.
-------------------------------------------------------

 in these condition, gromacs generate "mdout.mdp" file but no generate
"topol.tpr" file.


when I used this options:        grompp -v -maxwarn 1
the pre-processing is done and the topol.tpr file is constracted.

Is it possible and correct to use of "-maxwarn 1" for run these
tutorial example or not?!?
