Hi all, I have problem ruunning NVT with Z direction extended to get surface tension of a polymer packed in a cell. I tried the same procedure for an alkane and NVT works well however for the polymer the run crashes at the very first step.. Doe anyone have clue what wrong could be? Many

Hi Vitaly, To get surface tension one needs to extend Z to get a surface. From bulk it is not possible to create a surface. My problem is NVT crashes at step 0 and no energies or any other output file is written... On 5 April 2013 10:25, Dr. Vitaly Chaban vvcha...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all,

The structure is taken from the end of previous simulation which terminates successfully. The initial structure should not be the problem. What I do only edit the last line (Z direction) of this structure to create vacuum. This the output from log file. Charge group distribution at step 0: 81

Dear Elisabeth, I'm going to make some general remarks on what I would consider a reasonable set of choices for such simulations: (1) 3x3 nm in the xy plane seems perfectly fine to me if your model systems is made up of some well-behaved molecular liquid, alkanes for instance. (2) GROMACS

Dear Elisabeth, PBC are still there when you increase the box length in one direction, but that increase creates an empty region between the periodic images. provided the empty region is large enough (larger than cutoff values, for instance), periodicity no longer affects the system during a

Dear Elisabeth, actually, it is the other way around, you need increase the box length in one direction, thus keeping periodic boundary conditions in the other two directions while a (infinitely periodic) surface is created. and notice that using genconf with -nbox 3 3 1 will increase your system

Dear Andre, Thanks for the helpful information. I need to do some text reading to understand the periodic BC effect you are talking about. I dont see why increasing length in z direction does not lead to periodic BC in z and only for x, y ? does that mean the thickness of layer would be the Z
