Justin,


I've forced with the problem that I could not prorerly minimized my system in the NMA conditions. Even in STEEP minimizaation I could not obtain Epot value lower than +3.00 with that parametries ( I've used KALP peptide as a test input )


The Epot value is less significant than Fmax (which is what is set in the .mdp file, anyway). What Fmax do you achieve? Real copied and pasted output would be useful.

; Parameters describing what to do, when to stop and what to save
integrator = steep emtol = 1 ; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 1.0 kJ/mol/nm
emstep      = 0.01      ; Energy step size
nsteps = 5000000 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform



; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions nstlist = 1 ; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces ns_type = grid ; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid) rlist = 1.2 ; Cut-off for making neighbor list (short range forces) coulombtype = Shift rcoulomb = 1.0
rcoulomb_switch    = 0.0
vdwtype         = Shift
rvdw        = 1.0
rvdw_switch = 0.0
Than I've tried to futher minimized this structure via  l-bfgs algorithm by

integrator    = l-bfgs
dt                  =  0.01
emtol        = 0.001     ;
emstep      = 0.1      ; Energy step size
nsteps = 50000000 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform

but Epot was still big.

What I've done wrong ?

Are you using single- or double-precision?
