Hi,

Thank you for your helpful comments and suggestions. Per your recommendations, 
I tried running my simulation with the original parameter set and configuration 
file, and the forces behave as one would expect. I tried re-generating the 
configuration file, however, and the simulation breaks down. I apparently 
created a correct configuration file once, and cannot recreate it.

From what I can tell, since I'm using the TIP4P/2005f model, I cannot use 
Gromacs' built in solvate command because the .gro file it calls is based on 
the TIP4P model, which has slightly different values for the bond lengths and 
angles (though I may be wrong about not being able to use solvate). Because of 
this, I used my aforementioned script and just set the parameter values to 
their defaults given by the TIP4P/2005f model. The script generates the 
configuration file by creating an individual water molecule, randomly rotating 
it, and placing it in the box. This process is repeated until the box is full. 
Each molecule is offset from each other molecule by a set amount so that there 
is no overlap between any two water molecules. Each molecule is also checked to 
confirm that the rotations didn't alter the bond lengths, bond angles, and to 
ensure that all of the atoms lie in the same plane (there's no reason why the 
rotation should change these, but I figured I'd check just t

o

 be safe). Is this an appropriate way to create the configuration file 'by 
hand'?



Just use the existing tip4p.gro and minimize it using the new topology.  Then 
you'll know immediately if the new topology is sensible, without complications 
of possible bad configurations.

I agree with Mark.  You likely have a bad parameter set, and mdrun is telling 
you it is crashing.  Compute the forces in that trajectory and likely you will 
see where some bad behavior is emerging.  Force fields can be delicate, so what 
may seem like some small change can actually have profound consequences for 
stability.

Hi,

This looks like one manifestation of "the model physics is broken, and so is the 
resulting simulation system." Does your implementation behave for standard parameter 
values?

Hello all,

I am trying to model TIP4P/2005f water using Gromacs 5.1.2.
Specifically, I'm trying to show how modifying the parameters of the
TIP4P/2005f model changes the density of states. I wrote a small
script to randomly vary the parameters and write out the .gro and
.top files. When I tried running my molecular dynamics run, however, I got the 
following message:


A list of missing interactions:
   Morse of686 missing  1

Molecule type 'WAT'
the first 10 missing interactions, except for exclusions:
   Morse atoms13   global6971

Fatal error:
1 of the 1029 bonded interactions could not be calculated because
some atoms involved moved further apart than the multi-body cut-off
distance
(0.294303 nm) or the two-body cut-off distance (1 nm), see option
-rdd, for pairs and tabulated bonds also see option -ddcheck For more
information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website


I'm trying to figure out if this error is because the random values
for the parameters I chose were bad values (I sample them from a
log-normal distribution with a mean of the defined values of the
TIP4P/2005f values and a variance of 1% of those values), or if my
script is writing out the .gro and .top files incorrectly, or some
other cause. Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Chris
