Dear Mark,
Thanks for your help. Actually I did separate runs for flexible and
rigid models, and didn't use the equilibrated flexible structure to
start with rigid model calculations. But the starting configurations are
the same.
Oh OK - but the same kind of problem can arise if your starting
configuration doesn't match the constraints of the rigid model.
So do you mean I need to reduce the T-coupling time?
See section 3.4.5 of the manual. The smaller the T-coupling time, the
"harder" the T-coupling constraint is.
If the
initial water geometry is not the same as the rigid model, does the
program will "enforce" that geometry for water molecules, or to "relax"
water molecure towards it?
As I said last time,
It would be simpler ... to do energy minimization to correct any geometries
before starting MD simulations.
I've never needed to do this, so can't help with details, but it may be
necessary for this EM to use a solvent molecule .itp that has real
bonded functions rather than constraints. Thus this EM is actually doing
the geometry correction, and the geometry constraint algorithms for MD
will work as you'd hope.
Mark
