The generally accepted protocol for simulations that end up running in NPT is EM > relaxation NPT (possibly a series of relaxations) > production NPT. You will almost certainly see high pressure fluctuations right after NVT, especially given your extremely short timescales. Also, your tau_t is

I think calling this community "customers" is very funny. ;) Pressure fluctuations depend on the system composition, size its starting state (how well and for how long it was equilibrated), and many other things. Further, pressure is not supposed to be dead-on constant and some degree of

Hello, what do you mean with the pressure not being constant? If you mean the fluctuations in the instantaneous pressure, this is normal. What should be constant is the time average of the pressure over the time of the simulation. I don't see anything particular in your mdp file that could

[gmx-users] constant pressure in NPT simulation

Dear all customers. I have a problem, in my NPT simulations the pressure is not constant and the temperature is. Earlier simulation in NVT conditions was ok. I use these parameters: tcoupl = nose-hoover tc_grps = system tau_t = 0.002 ref_t
