Hello, I have run 2 ns simulations on a hydrocarbon system (initial density of ~ 2 SI and box size is 15 nm), one with version 4.0.7 and the other trial using 4.5.3. Both runs are almost equilibrated to 70 bar pressure but one is giving density of above 600SI (4.0.7) and the other density of around 15 SI (4.5.3). With 4.5.3 applying 100 bar pressure does not comrades the system either to the desired density. I need to study the system at different pressures from 1 to 70 bar, and I am wondering if the system can not be compressed with these ref_p values how can I keep the pressure fixed at P < 70 bar!?
Please help if you have any idea on why these two versions are giving inconsistent results and which one is reliable.
