Forcefields are typically parameterized on data around laboratory conditions, so trying to make observations on systems whose conditions are significantly far from those is doubtful. I don't have any real idea what "decay is very fast before it start to relax" means, either. > This problem does not arise when i tried with other force field which came > along with gromacs package(like GROMOS,OPLS..)
