Hello,

I am trying to get only interaction energies (vdw and electrostatics) between hexane (C6H14, 20atoms) molecules. I have 125 hexane molecules in the system. I have added _exclusions section_ at the end of top file to exclude all nonbonded interactions between atom 1 and all other 20 atoms. Unfortunately, I still have problem monitoring the breakdown of energies.


Why are exclusions necessary? What do you hope to prove by excluding interactions between one particular atom and the rest of the molecule? I'm sorry, but that sounds like complete nonsense to me.

What does gmxcheck tell you about the .edr file? What was your g_energy command line? Are your Gromacs versions consistent between the machine running the calculation and the one you're using to analyze the .edr file?

You have to produce a real trajectory (with reasonable physics!) before trying to rerun it. The mdrun -rerun flag expects an .xtc file. See mdrun -h and read about the purpose of this flag in the manual.

Well, you're not going to get any exclusions using this keyword. You want "energygrp_excl," not "eneegygrp_excl." If this is what's in your .mdp file, grompp should have raised an error. I still don't know what exactly you're trying to do.

Does this even work? The [exclusions] directive should be part of the hexane [moleculetype] definition. Putting it after the definition of the system means it doesn't apply to hexane at all. Surely grompp would have raised an error (something like "invalid order for directive exclusions")?
