One less thing to worry about then. I will try to fix this in another way.
Thanks.

I believe you are too concentrated on writing questions, so that it
does not leave you time to think about responses.

Try to learn the manual a bit.

Best luck.

 If so, using volume (as I did), and using density would give the same

Because that expectation is unreasonable for this system size over this

Re: [gmx-users] pressure dependence on volume.

2014-10-19 Thread Johnny Lu
I saved .cpt file every minute. And using the xvg file generated by
g_energy, I picked the .cpt file with the volume that I want, and then run
a NVT simulation, continuing from thee NPT .cpt file.

The volume of the .cpt file of the NPT simulation should be same as the
volume of the NVT file. Is it so? Or manually setting the volume makes some
magical differences?

Re: [gmx-users] pressure dependence on volume.

2014-10-19 Thread Johnny Lu
The averaged volume of the 1bar pressure NPT simulation over 150ns was very
clearly 298.5 nm^3.
But now, when I set the volume of the NVT simulation to 298.7 nm^3 by
starting from a NPT frame that has the volume, the average was 1.2 bar with
error estimate 0.53, over 52 ns.

The same tactic also didn't work for a 300 ns NPT simulation and
subsequently 300 ns NVT simulation. This NVT simulation pressure was
averaged to be around 4 bar.

Why starting a NVT simulation from a NPT frame with the averaged NPT volume
didn't give the target pressure of 1 bar?

Re: [gmx-users] pressure dependence on volume.

Hi Johnny,

The density is M/V. The only parameter changing with pressure coupling is
V, so the density and volume are fully correlated. No surprise there.

The frames with density closest to the average density also have volumes

I searched the energy file made by g_energy, and found that NPT frames with
very similar densities have very similar volume.

So, I guess using density is same as using volume in this case.

Re: [gmx-users] pressure dependence on volume.

my bad. that formula for density is wrong. But I till don't see why using
the same averaged density (instead of volume) for the NVT and NPT
simulations would give a different result.

Was the density calculated by # particles /  volume ?

If so, using volume (as I did), and using density would give the same wrong
pressure, upon transitioning from NPT to NVT.

Hey :)

That is under the assumption that the pressure distribution is symmetric
for a given density. That's rather unlikely, though. You should probably
set the density to the average density for the pressure you want, so from
the density distribution at 1 bar.

Cheers,

To achieve what you want you need to MANUALLY set the average DENSITY
which you obtained from NPT. That is, you MANUALLY adjust box side
length in the GRO file.

 A less than 1% error in volume would cause how much error in average
 pressure?

  From three npt simulations of 72 ns with Berendsen barostat, I get the
 average volume is 298.5 nm^3.

 Continuing from a frame with volume very close to 298.5 nm^3 (~0.01
 deviation from this volume), I run NVT simulation that at first gives a
 system that doesn't seem to be at equilibrium.

Re: [gmx-users] pressure dependence on volume.

2014-10-17 Thread Johnny Lu
I am trying to transit from NPT to NVT.
Using the averaged volume of NPT for NVT somehow didn't give me the 1 bar
pressure in NVT.
I don't know why that happened.

Was it the difference between constant pressure and constant volume heat
capacity? But then, the thermostat should take care of that quite quickly.
After that, N, V, and T would be same for NPT simulation and the NVT
simulation... which means the pressure should be the same.

Both the NVT and NPT uses the V-rescale thermostat, and the NPT uses
Berendsen barostat.

Right now I'm selecting NPT frames with different volumes, and see if the
NVT simulations continuing from those frames would give me the 1 bar
pressure.

Does that time point correspond to the desired pressure?  The pressure tensor is 
calculated from the virial and the kinetic energy, so those are the quantities 
you should be looking at for instantaneous pressures.

A less than 1% error in volume would cause how much error in average

Continuing from a frame with volume very close to 298.5 nm^3 (~0.01
