Thanks. But I've read the manual. It seems not solving it. The two potentials in my system are of totally different function forms. They do not just differ in the parameters. What troubles me is GROMACS seems not to be able to support two function forms simultaneously for van der Waals interactions.

You have to specify files for each interaction pair, that is AA, AB, BB, then simulate with cutoff max(r_A,r_B). Make sure the potentials are continuous and smooth to at least the cutoff. > > > > > ----------------------------------- > > Dear all, > > I'm trying to simulate multiple phases in one system.
