Dear GROMACS Community, I am trying to do a simulation using a tabulated potential which forces me to use the group cut-off. I get a drift in the conserved quantity of -600KJ/mol/ns. My system consists of 1000 rigid TIP4P water molecules and a Na+ ion. It seems that the problem is in the group cut-off since when I change the tabulated potential for a regular vdw the problem persists. I have followed the instructions of:
http://www.gromacs.org/@api/deki/files/94/=gromacs_nb.pdf Is this the kind of energy drift acceptable? I include a copy of the .mdp file.
