Hi all, First of all I'm new to md simulations, so if I am missing anything simple, I would be grateful for any pointers, however small. I am trying to simulate many small molecules on a substrate. I am restraining my substrate from moving but allowing the molecules to do whatever they like. My steps are to minimise my system (136 molecules on a 200Ax200A surface of about 4 layers, with 100A vacuum), then to run an NVT simulation without pbcs (though I could use pbcs, I just don't really need to for this). I am getting LINCS errors late on in the simulations - they don't always cause a crash, but sometimes they do. I guess it can't be insufficient minimisation if the errors arise after the simulation has been underway for awhile (eg, step 15000, 8ps into a 50ps simulation), but I don't really know what it can be. My timestep is 0.5 fs. I am just experimenting at the moment, I intend to simulate for much longer when I get it working.
I guess my question is: are LINCS errors that occur late in a simulation due to poor minimisation, or not? If not, what other factors should I look at? thanks Joe -- gmx-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
