Dear Gromacs Users,

I am using ver 4.5.1.

I completed a 500 ps run of NPT (the mdp file is below). after when i try to do a prod run with both velocity and pressure read from the output of NPT, I get a error

newgrompp -f eq3npt.mdp -o eq3npttpr.tpr -p dimertop.top -c eq2nptpdb.pdb -t eq2npttrr.trr -e eq2nptedr.edr

**********
READ 3 BOX VELOCITIES FROM eq2nptedr.edr


-------------------------------------------------------
Program newgrompp, VERSION 4.5.1
Source code file: enxio.c, line: 1022

Fatal error:
Could not find energy term named 'Xi-0-Protein'
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors
-------------------------------------------------------

I cannot judge where I go wrong. Kindly help.


Did you switch your thermostat between NPT and production MD? The Xi-* terms are specific to the Nose-Hoover thermostat, so if you used, i.e. Berendsen during NPT, these terms will not have been written to the .edr file.

You should, however, be able to use a checkpoint file (grompp -t *.cpt) to do the continuation.
