This also was solved by the some extra minimisation steps.


I've forced with another problem :D

During npt equilibration my system have slightly expanded so my desired volume and density were perturbed.

I've noticed the below options in npt wich could help me

ref_p        = 1 1
compressibility = 4.5e-5

i'm using this compressibility value because I'm modelling the lipid-like environment so I think that I must increase pressure. Could you remind me the dependence of pressure from density and volume for liquids ? :)

Your forcefield, simulation cell contents and .mdp settings will determine the equilibrium density. Whether you need to do anything depends on whether you've made a statistically significant post-equilibration measurement of your average density. Haphazardly increasing the reference pressure for the coupling will reduce the volume, but now you are simulating at that pressure. See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Pressure for background info.

    It seems that I've fixed that problem by reduce vdv radii for Cl
    during defining of my box

    Eventually I've obtained box with the desired density
     than I've delete vdvradii.dat for my wor dir

    by when I've launched equilibration I've oibtained

    Fatal error:
    Too many LINCS warnings (1598)
    If you know what you are doing you can adjust the lincs warning
    threshold in your mdp file

    I've never seen this before

    I'm using 1.o cutoff for pme and 1.4 for vdv
    my LINKS parameters are

    ; Bond parameters
    continuation    = no        ; first dynamics run
    constraint_algorithm = lincs    ; holonomic constraints
    constraints    = all-bonds    ; all bonds (even heavy atom-H
    bonds) constrained
    lincs_iter    = 1        ; accuracy of LINCS
    lincs_order    = 4        ; also related to accuracy

    How I could solve it?

        Mark,

        I've checked only density value

        with 500 molecules Ccl4 I have  density that is twisely less
        that I need ( in accordance to the literature ). Also I've
        checked my box visually and found that the box is not properly
        tightly packed so I dont know why genbox didnt add some extra
        mollecules :(

        In other words I wounder to know if  there is any way to add
        some extra molecules to the pre defined box to make my system
        more tighly packed  ( to short distance between existing
        molecules and place new ones in the new space ) ?

                Justin,

                Firstly I've created the box of desired size with only
                500 molecules ( I need 1000)

                Than I've tried to add extra 200 molecules by means of
                Genbox

                genbox -cp super_box.gro -ci Ccl4.gro -nmol 200 -o
                new_solv.gro

                but no molecules have been added
                Added 0 molecules (out of 200 requested) of Cl4


            ... then there are no gaps large enough to insert your
            molecules. Either make gaps, or check out genbox -h for
            advice on defining the radii.



                also I've tried

                genbox -cp super_box.gro -cp Ccl4.gro -nmol 200 -o
                new_solv.gro


            Two -cp options is not what you want, and -nmol probably
            only works with -ci.

                Is there any ways to add extra mollecules to the pre

            Yes - but there has to be room for them.
