[gmx-users] spurious forces while doing pulling simulation

2011-01-17 Thread Amit Choubey
Hi all, I am trying to do pulling simulation. Following are the pull parameters pull = umbrella pull_geometry = direction pull_vec1 = 0 0 1 pull_group1 = RNA pull_rate1 = 0.01 pull_k1 = 1000 pull_start = yes Everything works fine until the pull group COM reaches half the box length. The COM

Hi, Initially, the pull group center of mass is at 8.16 nm and i want to pull 15 nm. I started with a box size of 37 nm in the pull direction. The problem occurs when the COM is at 18.5 nm (ie at half the box length). Thanks for the attention. Amit On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 11:40 AM, Justin A.

Hi, I am still not able to see the reason for the periodic distances coming into picture. Also, why pull_geometry = direction_periodic cannot be used with P-coupling; although it seems to do what i want. Amit On Mon, Jan 17, 2011 at 1:04 PM, Amit Choubey kgp.a...@gmail.com wrote: Hi,

Yes Justin i understand that. Heres what i think is going on I dont have any reference group. Now the COM distance is calculated wrt the origin and whenever the COM is more than half of the box its causing problem. I think changing the absolute reference to the initial COM of the pull group
