So how would you repeat the (let be it converged) simulation from
different starting conditions in order to add that valuable statistics
you mention?
I think this was Albert's question

If a simulation ensemble doesn't converge reliably over a given time scale,
then it's not converged over that time scale. Repeating it from different
starting conditions still adds valuable statistics, but can't be a
replicate. Independent replicated observations of the same phenomenon allow
you to assess how likely it is that your set of observations reflect the
underlying phenomenon. The problem in sampling-dependent MD is usually in
making an observation (equating a converged simulation with an observation).

hello:
I am quite confused on how to repeat our MD in Gromacs. If we started
from the same equilibrated .gro file with "gen_vel = no" in md.mdp,
we may get "exactly" the same results which cannot be treated as reasonable
repeated running. However, if we use "gen_vel=yes" for each round of
running, sometimes our simulation may not converged at our simulated time
scale and we may get two results with large differences.
So I am just wondering how to perform repeated MD in Gromacs in a
correct way so that our results can be acceptably repeated?
thank you very much.
