Sorry, but I have to ask some more questions. I have just started to perform 
simulations in vacuum. I can understand not using of PME in vacuum simulations; 
however, I can not understand the sentence you wrote :
'rotation is recomended.' COM velocity removal's effect is directly visible.
Is it related to conservation of angular momentum?

Thank you very much!

Oz.

Hi Yang,

I am performing a simulation of a peptide in vacuum, and in the mailing 
archieve, I read that using of linear option of comm_mode in the vacuum 
simulations.  

Is it due to the relatively rapid convergence of molecules in the vacuum 
environment?

Thanks in advance

Generally, linear. For simulation in vacumm, you need rotation.

With big molecules, equilibration may not be done thoroughly; this may result 
in very obivious rotation that Linear can not prevent. So visualize your 
trajectory and check your molecule. If it happens, you need to apply Rotation 
in the beginning of your simulation for a few ns.

Yang Ye

Dear all,

    There are three options of comm_mode: Linear, Angular and none.
The option Angular is said that "Remove center of mass translation
and rotation around the center of mass". Does it mean the option
Angular remove the translation and rotation BOTH ?
    If I want to do a simulation such as a protein in the explicit
water, which option would be better? Or it will be the same?
    Thank you for your reply.


Best regards,
