Formally correct. > 2) how do i determine if system is really in ground state or stable You CNT should not migrate within a box, for sure. I believe it is principally impossible in spite of the force field parameters that can be used. You may want to upload the video with the system dynamics on the YOUTUBE for us to look at. > 3) temprature keeps on rising as the simulation proceeds is this all right? No. For how much does it increase? -- Dr. Vitaly Chaban -- gmx-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting!
