Dear prof. Berk,

Since it is the first time I use the tabulated potential, I have lots of questions about it. Could you help me out? Thanks a lot!

I make the test in the system with only some waters between 2 implicit walls.
1. some related parameters of the .mdp file are listed  below. Is there anything wrong?
energygrps               = SOL
pbc                            = xy
rlist                            = 1.2
coulombtype           = pme
rcoulomb                 = 1.2
vdw-type                 = cut-off
rvdw                         = 1.2
DispCorr                  = EnerPres
table-extension       = 1
energygrp_table      =  
;Walls
nwall                         = 2
wall_type                  = table
wall_r_linpot             = 0.0
wall_atomtype          = opls_135 opls_135  
wall_density              =     ;(the wall_density is included in the tabulated potential, right?)               
wall_ewald_zfac      = 3

2.  The flags of mdrun are:
      mdrun -deffnm table  -tablep table_SOL_wall0.xvg table_SOL_wall1.xvg -table table.xvg
where table.xvg is copied from  gmx_top_path/table6-12.xvg, and table_SOL_wall0.xvg and table_SOL_wall1.xvg are the self-generated 9-3 potential (9-3 potential is used for the aim of testing and compare with the  default 9-3 potential of gromacs.)
Since I use only the tabulated potential between SOL-wall0 and SOL-wall1, why do I need the table.xvg?  Does it affect the coulomb/vdw potential between SOL-SOL?

3. In the table_SOL_wall0.xvg and table_SOL_wall1.xvg, the distance range of 0-3nm is generated. max(rvdw, rcoulomb)=1.2 nm and table-extension=1. The question is what is the cutoff distance for the tabulated SOL-wall0/wall1 potential, 2.2nm or 3nm?

4. In the output file table.log,
Table routines are used for coulomb: TRUE
Table routines are used for vdw:     FALSE
Using a Gaussian width (1/beta) of 0.384195 nm for Ewald
Cut-off's:   NS: 1.2   Coulomb: 1.2   LJ: 1.2
System total charge: 0.000
Generated table with 1100 data points for Ewald.
Tabscale = 500 points/nm
Generated table with 1100 data points for LJ6.
Tabscale = 500 points/nm
Generated table with 1100 data points for LJ12.
Tabscale = 500 points/nm
Reading user tables for 1 energy groups with 2 walls
Read user tables from table_SOL_wall0.xvg with 1501 data points.
Tabscale = 500 points/nm
Read user tables from table_SOL_wall1.xvg with 1501 data points.
Tabscale = 500 points/nm

The question are:
a) Since Table is not used for vdw (FALSE),  why table is generated for LJ6/LJ12?
b) Where does the value of  "1100" data points come from? (Since rvdw=1.2, tabscale=500, it should be 1400, not 1100!?)
c) 1501 data points is generated for table_SOL_wall0/wall1, the answer of the 3rd question (cutoff value for the tabulated potential calculation) should be 3nm, right?


Sorry for the lots of questions!

best wishes,
Baofu Qiao

Hi,

Why not use the tabulated wall potential?
That does not require are changes to the code.

Subject: [gmx-users] 10-4-3 implicit wall potential

HI all,

Does anyone have experience to implement the 10-4-3 implicit wall
potential?  If I want to use it, which files do I need to change, except
wall.c? Can anyone give some suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

best wishes,
Baofu Qiao
