Hi all, nevermind, I caught my own mistake. (I hope this might be useful for someone in the future).

PeptidePull.ppa is my input file, specifying the parameters for my pulling. -po PeptidePull is the output file. The problem here is that I used the same name.

When it crossed over to another node, the wrong ppa file was read. So the moral of the story is: When running AFM pulling in parallel, make sure that the names following "-pi" and "-po" differ! (something like, "-pi PeptidePull -po ExtraPeptidePull).

Thanks!

Hi GXM Users,

I'm trying to execute some AFM pulling. My index file contains two groups, [TopPeptide] and [DMPC]. I execute grompp, then when I try to execute mdrun:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] SteeredMD]$ mdrun -s SMD-01.tpr -o SMD-01 -c AfterSMD-01 -e SMD-01 -g SMD-01 -pi PeptidePull.ppa -pn System.ndx -po PeptidePull -pdo PeptidePull *

I get a prompt, asking me to select groups:

*Back Off! I just backed up SMD-01.edr to ./#SMD-01.edr.3#
Group     0 (  TopPeptide) has    72 elements
Group     1 (        DMPC) has  5888 elements
Select a group: 0 *

My question is: If I've already specified the group and the reference group (in the PeptidePull.ppa file, which I've pasted below for your reference) and if these groups are defined in the System.ndx file, then why am I being prompted to select a group??? (incidently, when I do select a group, I get several warnings that state "Unkown left-hand afm_rate (or afm_k1, or afm_direction, etc etc) in parameter file". Seems like it's not reading my PeptidePull.ppa file correctly).

Would greatly appreciate any assistance,

Arneh
