OK, now I understand.

You can give to genbox any solvent that you like, provided that each 
molecule consists of a single residue (the residue number is used to 
distinguish molecules).  In the gromacs distribution there are a couple 
of other solvents present. Look in share/gromacs/top directory of your 
installation (or roll your own).

Hi

I want to use a solvent with two types molecules (for example linear and
cyclic Glucose form).
How can I fill box with them?

I highly appreciate for advice given me!

There are even how-to's on the Gromacs site to accomplish this:

[gmx-users] Scaling of Coordinates is Occurring - why?

2010-01-16 Thread chris . neale
From what I can find, it seems that you are correct to assume that  
frozen coordinates should not be scaled:  
http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2002-July/002054.html  
and, from the online manual:


freezegrps:
Groups that are to be frozen (i.e. their X, Y, and/or Z position  
will not be updated; e.g. Lipid SOL). freezedim specifies for which  
dimension the freezing applies. To avoid spurious contibrutions to the  
virial and pressure due to large forces between completely frozen  
atoms you need to use energy group exclusions, this also saves  
computing time. Note that frozen coordinates are not subject to  
pressure scaling.


Nevertheless, you say that your frozen coordinates are subject to  
pressure scaling. I can suggest the following:


1. Are you really freezing what you think you are freezing? I see no  
freeze info in your post so I can't check for myself. i.e. do you have  
proper freezegrps? did you utilize freezedim? did you include  
energygrp_excl (which, although required, shouldn't affect frozen atom  
scaling if you forgot it). Note that your refcoord_scaling only  
matters if you are using position restraints, which you say you are not.


2. Just use position restraints with a large force constant and use  
that refcoord_scaling = no.


3. If you're absolutely sure, file a bugzilla.

-- original message --

Pressure coupling is not supposed to scale the coordinates of my frozen
group, yet it is.  My frozen group is a crystal structure that does not have
any topology assigned to them: no bond, angle, dihedral constants etc.
specified.  I find that a crystal structure gets compressed.  A sample of
the pressure coupling section of my .mdp file is given below:

; PRESSURE COUPLING
pcoupl = parrinello-rahman
pcoupltype = isotropic
tau_p = 50.0
compressibility = 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1
refcoord_scaling = no
ref_p = 1000.0 1000.0 1000.0 0.0 0.0 0.0

I'm using Gromacs 4.0.5.
Any suggestions appreciated,

This is a known problem. The options freezing and pressure coupling are 
not compatible. Ref_coordscaling refers to position restraints, see 
http://manual.gromacs.org/current/online/mdp_opt.html#pc
There is no general solution for this, since pressure scaling may make 
the box so small that the frozen system is larger than the box (the same 
problem holds for position restraints by the way).


We would like to do this rigorously but as far as I know no-one has 
worked out a solution.


It gets more complicated when constraints are involved.

[gmx-users] Re: implicit wall doesn't recognize the wall_atomtype correctly?

2010-01-16 Thread Qiao Baofu
Hi,

Firstly, regarding my last email, even though I didn't get any complain
about the nonsense setting for the wall_atomtype from grompp, the mdrun is
crashed after some steps.

Then I tested some atomtypes which have been given in OPLS, and checked the
output in md.log:
a) When wall_atomtype = opls_135 in .mdp,
*wall_atomtype[0]=2*(wall_atomtype[1]=2)  in md.log.
b) When wall_atomtype = SI in .mdp,  *
wall_atomtype[0]=9*(wall_atomtype[1]=9)  in md.log.
c) When wall_atomtype = opls_1001 in .mdp,
*wall_atomtype[0]=9*(wall_atomtype[1]=9)  in md.log, where opls_1001
is the atome type for
graphene carbon added by myself.

Does anyone know about why the md.log give different result from the .mdp
file? and what does the *wall_atomtype[0]=2 (or 9)* means?  Thanks a lot in
advance!

best wishes,
Baofu Qiao


2010/1/15 Baofu Qiao qia...@gmail.com

  Hi all,

 I want to know whether it is a bug or not: When I use some nonsense
 wall_atomtype for the implicit wall, the grompp doesn't complain about it.
 Or it is a mistake I make myself.
 I am using gmx 4.0.7.  See the following flags of wall_atomtype.

 nwall= 2
 wall_type= 9-3
 wall_r_linpot   = 0.1
 wall_atomtype= *abc   123;opls_abc  opls_abc*
 wall_density   = 144 144
 wall_ewald_zfac= 3


 best wishes,
 Baofu Qiao

[gmx-users] The size of the domain decomposition grid (1) does not match the number of nodes (8).

2010-01-16 Thread chris . neale

Hello,

I have a run that was working fine under parallel mdrun -pd and when I  
then switched to domain decomposition I got:


Fatal error:
The size of the domain decomposition grid (1) does not match the  
number of nodes (8). The total number of nodes is 8


while running like this:

/scinet/gpc/mpi/openmpi/1.3.2-intel-v11.0-ofed/bin/mpirun -mca  
btl_sm_num_fifos 7 -np $(wc -l $PBS_NODEFILE | gawk '{print $1}') -mca

-deffnm md1 -dlb yes -npme -1 -cpt 1 -maxh 47.5 -cpi md1.cpt -px  
coord.xvg -pf force.xvg -rdd 2.5


If I then add -dd 2 2 2 to the mdrun command line it runs fine.

I found a couple of things about this on the mailing list but nothing  
that seemed entirely related to this case, e.g.:

http://oldwww.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-developers/2008-September/002721.html

I'm not sure there's a question here beyond the standard does it seem  
as if I forgot to do something?.
