Dear Dr.Mark

thank you for your attention
How long is enough?

For example, when the size of error estimate reported by g_energy is smaller than the quantity you are trying to observe. That might take many nanoseconds in the case of observables based on fluctuations of atomic positions. There've been lots of mailing list threads on this topic.

Mark

for example I have run 200 ps for making npt(p=1 bar) for my system (300 nm^3) But the pressure is oscilating so much,and I can't be sure if it has converged or not!
of course its average is approximately 5 bar (at the end of log file)

Do you have any idea?
I know it is not any problem if a quantity is oscilating around it's converged value.

thanks in advance for your reply

        Dear All

        How can I determine the converged value of a simulation?
        Because the pressure has big oscilations around it's
        converging value but it is difficult to determine that value.


    Longer simulations on bigger systems.
