[gmx-users] grompp error

2011-01-16 Thread bharat gupta
Hi

I am using gromacs 4.5.3 ... I am using OPLSS force field in simulation and
while issuing grompp command for energy minimzation I am getting an error
"No molecule type NA+ exists" ... I used NA+ while issuing genion command
..., can anybody tell me where am I going wrong??

[gmx-users] segmentation error

2011-01-16 Thread leila separdar
I managed to run my simulation but which kind of coulomtype can I use except
PME? also I get different averages for kinetic and potential energies than
before reducing units I think these numbers must be the same because
E*=E/epsilon (epsilon is about 0.9977) for argon. could u please help me
about this issue?( I have reduced box size, dt, C6=4 , C12=4, mass=1 and
temperature. before reducing temperature is 300 and after reducing it is

[gmx-users] Installing Gromacs with Cygwin

2011-01-16 Thread Mr Bernard Ramos
Dear all,
I need help. I am trying to install Gromacs using Cygwin. However, I do not 
seem to have access to it. I am very new with Cygwin. I just followed the steps 
provided by the following sites: 
http://machine-phase.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-install-gromacs-on-windows-vista.html
 and http://www.gromacs.org/Downloads/Installation_Instructions/Cygwin_HOWTO
but in the end when I type "luck" it returns "command not found".
These are the steps I did. 
1. Downloaded fftw-3.2.2 and gromacs-4.5.3 and saved them in C:\Packages
2. After installing cygwin, I changed directory by typing in the following in 
order to work with fftw-3.2.2
cd /cygdrive/c/Packages/fftw-3.2.2
and then I typed in
./configure --enable-threads --enable-sse w--enable-float
followed by
make
then 
make install
2. I then worked for the gromacs-4.5.3 by typing in
cd /cygdrive/c/Packages/gromacs-4.5.3 
and then 
./configure --enable-shared LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
make
make install
make links
make clean


3. I typed "luck" after all the procedures above but what I get is "command not 
found". I am still at /cygdrivec/Packages/gromacs-4.5.3.
Is this the correct path to run the gromacs?
Please help.
Thanks.

Do you have charges? If so, follow standard practice in the literature 
for treating them.


also I get different averages for kinetic and potential energies than

Write out the equations in a form such that the values you must input 
into GROMACS can be clearly identified. Anything else is a recipe for 
trouble, unless you're following published literature.

Different force fields use different names for species. Look up 
$GMXLIB/oplsaa.ff/ions.itp to see how the molecules, residues and atoms 
should be named.

[gmx-users] problem with LINCS

2011-01-16 Thread Thomas Koller
Hello!

I have the following problem:

I calculated a stable conformation of two ions of an ionic liquid, e.g. the 
relative positions of both. I used genbox to replicate the pair structure in 
the simulation box. After that, I started minimization, volume and pressure 
equilibration. A few steps after the volume equilibration, I got this message:

Step 2160, time 4.32 (ps)  LINCS WARNING
relative constraint deviation after LINCS:
rms 2702.127453, max 65115.246094 (between atoms 130 and 131)
bonds that rotated more than 30 degrees:
 atom 1 atom 2  angle  previous, current, constraint length
121123   91.90.1378   0.6015  0.1378
130131   90.00.1526 9936.7393 0.1526
...

I use LINCS with h-angles. 

The whole procedure works when I don't use the conformer pair, but two separate 
ions inserting randomly in the box. I get no LINCS warning. What can be the 
problem?

Regards and thanks,
Thomas

Hard to say.  What does the trajectory show?  How successful was energy 
minimization, and what were your criteria?  What's in your .mdp file?

[gmx-users] ACPYPE download

Hi there,

I am trying to convert a AMBER XLEaP generated topology file of Glycoprotein
to GMX. The mailling list showed that ACPYPE should do the work. However, I
can not get the program following the instructions on the wiki page. Is
there anyone who has successful experience using ACPYPE and would be willing
to provide me the program? Thanks a lot.

[gmx-users] Position restraint problem

2011-01-16 Thread Marcelo Silva

Hello everybody,

I tried to run a simulated annealing protocol with 500 molecules of 
perfluorohexane, trying to optimize their structure and keep on with further 
equilibration.
Since in the end of simulated annealing there were a lot of holes in the NPT 
box, I've now tried to restrain the positions of the perfluorohexane molecules 
using -DPOSRES (I've attached the mdp file).

The problem is that mdrun keeps running in background but there's no output 
showing in the sa.log file. What could be the problem?

Thank you.

Are other files being written to?  If not, the run probably crashed.  All output 
is buffered, so it may just take time to show up.  If you want to try to debug, 
set the LOG_BUFS environment variable to 0.  The resulting run will be 
unbuffered and very slow, however.

Sounds like you might need to check out FAQ #11.

File systems store I/O in temporary areas in memory, and only write 
periodically.

[gmx-users] Viscosity calculations

2011-01-16 Thread Xiaohu Li
Hi,
   I'm trying to calculate viscosities of a few ionic liquid and has roughly
read about Hess's paper JCP 116 209, 2002.
Follows are the questions that I have
(1) For the method which uses the fluctuations of the pressure tensor using
Green-Kubo relation. I used g_energy -f *.edr -s *.tpr -vis option and has
obtained
a few files such as evisco.xvg, eviscoi.xvg and visco.xvg
The evisco.xvg seems like the one I'm interested, since it has the title as
@title "Shear viscosity using Einstein relation"
and the unit seems also correct. This file has 5 columns, if I understand it
correctly(by extrapolating from Hess's paper), the second to fourth columns
are the results from the off-diagonal elements of the pressure
tensor and the fifth one being the average. Hess's paper seems to be this
one(Figure 5). However, the results are way to low for the ionic liquid,
since I'm getting 1e-7 kg/m.s and way too low for a ionic liquid.
the eviscoi.xvg file seems to be some kind of integral of evisco.xvg which
I'm not quite getting what it is.
visco.xvg contains the shear viscosity and bulk viscosity, which again seems
to be the one I'm looking for. However, the shear viscosity I'm looking
is(the region which roughly is constant) about 3~5 times higher than the
experiment. The simulation is 12ns long. Of course, this could mean (1) the
force field is bad or (2) the Green-kudo converges too slowly as Hess
pointed out.
Since it is not getting any useful result, I turned to non-equilibrium MD by
applying a shear external force, which is in (2)
(2) I tried both NVT and NPT simulations which uses berendsen coupling bath.
and set up the cos_acceleration = 0.1 nm/ps^2.
However, I tried to use g_energy -f *edr -s *tpr and by selecting
the 1/Viscosity or 2CosZ*Vel-X option, the output are giving me zero data
points on all times.

I tried really hard on searching  results on the user list of gromacs but it
seems that there are quite a lot questions on this but not a single
satisfactory answer has been given, the most popular answer people gave is
refer to Hess's paper, but even though Hess was giving a good theoretical
background on this paper, practically on how to set up MD jobs is not
given.
So I would appreciate anyone's hint.

Cheers,

Xiaohu
