from -1000 to 1000, depending on the system. The simulation box is 8x8x8 nm (roughly) and contains about 12,000 atoms


Are the systems even stable? Is there a trend in the pressure, or is it stable at those values? It seems that the systems are either exploding or imploding. How long are the simulations? Can you post a complete .mdp file?

        I am running a variety of NPT simulations with polar, non-polar,
        and ionic compounds.  Although my results for density agree well
        with experimental values, the pressures I get from g_energy are
        off by 1 to 3 orders of magnitude.  In the log file, the
        pressure fluctuates around a lot from -400 to 400 bar, which
        seems to be normal according to other posts on this list, but
        the average (which is what g_energy gives me) is not 1.0 bar, as
        I specified.  Does anyone know how to correct this problem?


    What is the average value you're getting?  How long are your
    simulations?

        Pressure coupling parameters:
        Pcoupl              =  berendsen
        pcoupltype          =  isotropic
        tau_p                   =  1.0
        ref_p                   =  1.0
        compressibility     =  4.5e-5
