Hi,

I'm not good at handling Gromacs yet.

My question is about virtual interaction.

I'm doing simulation dealing with CO2 which is linear rigid molecule as you already know.
As pervasively known, I introduced virtual sites.

However, I don't know how to give initial coordinate correctly of dummy particles.

Let us consider following system.

x1-----d1-----x2

There are two real atom and one dummy particle between them with appropriate length ratio, a, from x1, and (1-a) from x2. If I give the coordinates of three particles by the rules of above statement, i.e., dummy particle between them with appropriate length ratio, a, from x1, and (1-a) from x2..

Is it correct?

Looks fine.

Isn't there any unstable energy?

Why should there be?


Do I have to run any preceding run before equilibration run??
Otherwise, Is there any other way giving the correct coordinate of dummy particle ???

I expect you can give it any coordinates you like, and the interaction any value of a you like. Thereafter, it's in the hands of physics. If you want something reasonable, then probably choose the coordinates and the value of a in a consistent way.
