Dear Justin,
The previous problems was as is following:
Dear GROMACS Users,
I asked this question before but I don't understand it!
I placed several materials in my box of simulation for example box with
6nm*6nm*6nm and my materials are not placed in the smaller box but when
I equilibrate my system, the box became smaller and temperature and
pressure also equilibrate. my question is: is my system and equilibrate
mistake, because of reach to smaller box? Is there equilibriums with
reach to smaller box?
What do you mean by "my materials are not placed in the smaller box"?
If a box compresses, it is because the initial configuration was incompatible
with the desired equilibration conditions and it contracted produce the desired
quantity (likely pressure).

Dear Justin,
"my materials are not placed in the
smaller box" means if I select box with dimensions 5.99 nm, space is low
and insufficient for my molecules! but after equilibrate the box become
small.
Please define what you mean here. You start with a 6-nm
cubic box. How small does it get? Are the box vectors trending
downward, or do they converge? What is the change in density, and is it
acceptable?
According what you said, when the box become smaller in equilibrium, there is
not mistake and it is natural?
That
depends on the magnitude of the change. Compression indicates that the
pressure (and thus density of the system) was not at the desired value
and the system is contracting. The manner in which the contraction
occurs (magnitude, speed) is the deciding factor as to whether or not
there is a problem.
also,
Dear Mark,
May I know your idea about cause of my doubt, Please?
As I said yesterday:
At least one of your volume, contents or model physics are not
consistent with the others, but only you can say which.
Since only you know anything about your volume, contents and model
physics, or that of the work you think you should be replicating, we
can't help at the moment. See previous comment about relevant
information :-)
Mark
Best Regards
Sara

Dear Justin,
Thank you very much.
So, decreasing of box dimensions is not bad, if all thing process natural, yes?
The cause of my doubt was because of in the most of articles was said
for example " we select box with dimensions 10nm that after equilibrium
was converted to 11nm" and I didn't see the report of decreasing of box
dimensions! May I know your idea about it, Please?
Following a
published method closely and observing an opposite result is a cause for
concern. You have to judge "closely," however. You should have said
earlier this was one of your reasons for doubt, rather than leave us to
guess. The quality of the help you might receive is often in direct
proportion to the quantity of relevant information you give in asking
for it.

Dear Justin,
Thank you very much from your response. This question was because of my previous problems
about equilibration the box that I sent it with subject "equilibrium for box of
simulation". When I equilibrate solvent and additives separated and then add to
surfactant and after that equilibrate totally, there are not previous problems and I
wanted to know that this method is correct?
Please provide a link to the previous thread. I read hundreds of posts per
week; I don't recall this one. A sequence of commands would also be helpful
here, as I cannot clearly envision what you are describing.
