Hello all! 

I have a small query, and I couldn't find it anywhere else on this page. 

I'm doing hybrid FM of hexane (256 molecules in a box), where boltzmann 
inversion for the bonded, and FM for the non-bonded. 
My simulation appeared to show all of my hexane molecules clumping together 
(literally a giant ball of dense hexanes).

I compared my non bonded potential e.g. A-A, to the potential given in the 
paper:

Victor Ruehle, Christoph Junghans, *Macrolmol. Theory Simul. **2011*, 20, 
472-477 (Hybrid approaches to coarse-graining using the VOTCA package: 
Liquid Hexane)

I have an attractive well depth of -20kj/mol (attached, plot column 1 and 
6), whereas the potential in the paper has a well depth of -1 kj/mol, so 
mine is far too attractive (which explains the extreme aggregation)! Even 
my slight repulsive bump at the zero line is almost 0.8 kj/mol. 

Is there any obvious reason why my potential could be this off? Is it an 
effect of maybe how I choose my grid size, or blocking averages when force 
matching? 

If you need anymore files or details, please just let me know, I will be 
happy to provide them! and thank you for all the help :D

Many thanks
Rom
