Thanks Mark,

Using the above I ran gmxcheck -f nvt.trr

Here is the resulting out put

Last frame        500 time 1000.000

Item        #frames Timestep (ps)
Step           501    2
Time           501    2
Lambda         501    2
Coords         501    2
Velocities     501    2
Forces           0
Box            501    2

Does this mean I can interpret this as 1 ns of simulation with output every
2 ps?


Yes.

Also I thought when I assigned values for output at 1000, such as nstxout =
1000, that I would get an write of data every 1 ps?


All of the nst* options (as the name implies and the manual explains) are given in number of steps, not time units. Thus the nst* options are dependent upon the value of dt to be given meaning in terms of time. With dt = 0.002, and nst(whatever) = 1000, you get output every 2 ps.

I'm moderately confused!

Try smaller numbers and periods for a test run, and see the machinery work.
gmxcheck on the output files is your friend!

Hi GMX-users,

If I wanted to run a 1 ns simulation take snapshots every 1 ps would
these
be the correct input parameters?

Thanks!

; Run parameters
integrator      = md
nsteps          = 500000
dt              = 0.002
; Output control
nstxout         = 1000
nstvout         = 1000
nstenergy       = 1000
nstlog          = 1000
