David,

I get a different simulation result if I use isotropic or anisotropic cells.
I am not sure yet which is (more) correct, but I would like to be able to
run both types to see.  I understand that a constrained anisotropic cell is
not completely anisotropic, but a fully anistropic one clearly doesn't work.

David

You did not say which algorithm you use either, but making the time constant longer might help. However, depending on your system, you may need substantial surface tension to keep the system neutral if you do use anisotropic coupling. We do not completely understand these effects yet, see e.g http://bugzilla.gromacs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165 for additional discussions.


Dear All,

We are running some simulations using an anisotropic periodic cell.  We are
getting 'cell runaway' with the cell becoming very long and thin.  This
appears to being driven by the electrostatics of the system.  The simulation
then dies because the smallest cell dimension is less than 2*cutoff.

Is there a way that we can apply some constraints to the periodic cell?
Why not use isotropic pressure coupling?


Regards

David
