Re: RE: [gmx-users] viscosity calculation using g_energy (3.3.3)

2009-03-24 Thread JMandumpal
 Dear Berk,

 Thanks for the reply. I have read through your 
paper. I have still some doubts.

When used tcafś  I got files called

tcaf_all.xvg  tcaf_fit.xvg  tcaf.xvg  visc_k.xvg ( all default names).

I think, the file which I should use for fitting, using the formula eta(k) = 
eta (0) (1-ak²) + O(k^4)  the viscoty ( viscosity - k vector plot) is 
visc_k.xvg. Am I right? 

IF yes, what all other files ( tcf_all.xvg, tcaf_fit.xvg and tcaf.xvg) do?

expecting your reply,
Jestin

Re: Re: [gmx-users] viscosity calculation using g_energy (3.3.3)

2009-03-13 Thread JMandumpal
 Dear Berk and David,

  Thank you very much for your 
appropriate and informative replies.  I tried another method (traverse current 
method) to calculate the shear viscosity ( a non equilibrium method, which has 
been described in Berkś paper : Journal of Chemical Physics, 116, page 209 
( Determining the shear viscosity of model liquids from molecular dynamics 
simulations)),   

   I used the g_tcaf utility (ie g_tcaf -f traj1.trr -s 
binary.tpr -oc test.xvg) . As suggested by David, I increased the system size ( 
from 500 to 2048 TIP4P molecules). I ran in NVT ensemble which allows the 
pressure to fluctuate.
Apart from that I added following options to my mdp file, where accelaration of 
1A/ps² was given to the system.

;NON EQUILIBRIUM STUFF
acc_grps  = system
accelerate= 0.1 0.0 0.0
cos_acceleration  = 0.1



Moreover, I saved the trajectory in every 1ps ( so total 500 frames for a 500ps 
simulation)

then,

I got the following output:
k  1.593  tau  1.000  eta  0.09835 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  1.593  tau  1.000  eta  0.09835 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  1.593  tau  1.000  eta  0.09835 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.252  tau  1.000  eta  0.04917 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.759  tau  1.000  eta  0.03278 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.759  tau  1.000  eta  0.03278 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.759  tau  1.000  eta  0.03278 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  2.759  tau  1.000  eta  0.03278 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  3.185  tau  1.000  eta  0.02459 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  3.185  tau  1.000  eta  0.02459 10^-3 kg/(m s)
k  3.185  tau  1.000  eta  0.02459 10^-3 kg/(m s)

-

Which shows a strong k dependence over the property: shorter k, better the 
viscosity, as pointed out in the paper. However, the value obtained is around 
0.01 times less than the experimental value (1pa-second). Adding to that, the 
results obtained by this method seems to be very convincing unlike the g_energy 
that shows a great divergence!!

So the situation is getting better now. Now, I would like to know whether this 
can be improved if I save the trajectories more frequently ( 500 fs) and run 
for longer, say 2ns or change value of accelaration . 

Any thoughts ?

Jes.

David,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Indeed I did  as what you suggested- g_energy -f water.edr -vis test.xvg 

The output file created includes three columns.

1. time ( ps) 2. shear viscosity (3) I assume it is bulk viscosity.

It seems, the unit given is cp. ( 1cp= 1* 10¯3 Pascal Second).

The bulk viscosity of water at 300 K is approximately 0.7 cp. But the value ( 
Bulk viscosity) I got from the program gives me 100 pa-s, an increase of two 
order of magnitude. I wonder whether I have done anything wrong while 
specifying the frequency of saving energy file.

I have saved the energy file in every 2ps. Isn´t that enough for a simple 
system like water? OR should I have to save trajectories in every 5fs as 
suggested by one in a previous post.

I post the first 20 lines of the output file.

[gmx-users] viscosity calculation using g_energy (3.3.3)

2009-03-11 Thread JMandumpal
Dear GROMACS users,

   As explained in the manual ( page 139, section 
6.5/3.3.3) I would like to calculate viscosity of my system ( water) using 
g_energy. I opted(40  Mu-X ) from the g-energy selection. But the unit 
written on the Y axis of the corresponding xvg file is  (kJ mol\S-1\N). I think 
GROMACS uses SI unit , which is Pa-Second in the case of viscosity. Then why is 
this discrepancy.? Or did I make any mistake?


--I give the command on the prompt:

g-energy -f ener.edr - o viscosity.xvg ; 
then chose option 40 ( Mu-X).

system details:
**
My system consists of 500 TIP4P water molecules, ran for 3.5 nanoseconds at 
150K, the ensemble is NPT. The version I am using is 3.3.3

[gmx-users] cooling the system "NVT" ensemble

2008-07-30 Thread JMandumpal
Dear GROMACS users,

A method to locate  glass transtion temperature of liquids is reported by 
Stanley et al, PRL 2004, 93, pp 047801: system is cooled initially and then is 
heated , in the range 0K-400K, in a "modified" NVT ensemble. (Total energies of 
the system with respect to temp. is plotted, a kink in the plot is refered to 
the glass transition)

In a standard NVT simulation, To is constant. In this method, the Berendsen 
thermostat is used but, at everytime step, the bath temperature To is updated 
such that 
To(t)= To(t=0) + deltaT, with deltaT= cooling/heating *  timestep.
This is done at every time step before rescaling the velocities.

Now, I would like to know how can I 'impliment' this in a GROMACS version; I 
mean where should I modify the code? Or is there any other way to achieve this 
without modifying the code?

Is it /usr/local/gromacs/src/mdlib/tgroup.c ?

Thanks for your help,
Jes

I think, after creating an index file, you can edit it manually clubbing both 
Phosphorius and Oxygen atoms together ( considering as a single group). Then 
specify this group while doing analysis.

Re: Re: [gmx-users] Meaning of CT, C_2, C_3 in ffoplsaabon.itp

2008-06-23 Thread JMandumpal
  
Dear Gayen,

It stands for different atom types of the same element.

For instance, in all atom OPLS parameter model for acetone, following atom 
types are being used.
CT, 0_2, C_2 and HC for methyl carbons, keto oxygen, carbonyl carbon and methyl 
hydrogens respectively. Indeed, CT( for methyl Carbon) and C_2 (for keto 
carbon) have to be specific, especially when bond angle, length and dihedral ( 
in the parameter file ) are mentioned.

Hope this helps.

[gmx-users] acetone parameter

2008-04-17 Thread JMandumpal
 Dear list,

  I would like to simulate aqueous acetone system using UA OPLS
potentials. I chose the following atoms types, given below (TABLE ONE),
for acetone, with united atom  for Methyl groups.
 TABLE ONE 
--
[ atoms ]
;   nr type resnr resid  atom  cgnr   charge mass
 1 opls_0691  ACETCAA 10.000  15.0350
 2 opls_2801  ACETC_2 10.470  12.0110
 3 opls_0691  ACETCAD 10.000  15.0350
 4 opls_2811  ACETO_2 1   -0.470  15.9994
---
But on the other hand, when I checked the literature,  JPC
94, 1990, p.1683, I found out, the parameters are given in the following 
manner, TABLE TWO :
TABLE TWO

atom types  charge sigma epsilon
CH3  0.062  3.910 0.160
C0.300  3.750 0.105
O   -0.424  2.960 0.210
**
For keeping total charge in the system  to zero, I used the opls_069 for methyl 
group (zero charge), in my input file, compared to what has been published. I 
would like to know whether the parameters (charge) I chose is right, else which 
atom type I must use for methyl group.

thanking in advance,
Jes

Should I use this : tpbconv -f traj.trr -s topol.tpr -e ener.edr -o tpxout.tpr

mpirun mdrun_mpi_d -s tpxout.tpr -o pr.trr -c output_1.gro -g topol.log

[gmx-users] NVT and NVE

2008-03-27 Thread JMandumpal
Dear gromacs users,


I ran 100ps equilibraion, NVT, prior to running 60ps NVE to check the energy 
conservation with different timesteps: 1.0fs, 1.5fs and 2.0fs, but  these NVE 
simulations seem not to converge even after. Following is the command I used 
for running 60ps NVE :
--
grompp_d -np $PBS_NCPUS -f mdout_NVE.mdp -p topol.top -c conf_100.gro -o 
binary.tpr
mpirun mdrun_mpi_d -s binary.tpr -o pr.trr -c output_1.gro -g topol.log
-
conf_100.gro is the equilibrated box, from my 100ps NVT, which I used for the 
NVE's. Is this the right way of doing it? or Am I miss something else in those 
commands.
My system is 500 TIP5P box.
  

regards,
Jestin

[gmx-users] step.pdb files during EM

2008-03-03 Thread JMandumpal
  
Dear list,

I ran EM (energy minimisation) of TIP5P water 
model using gromacs/3.3.2 version. My output says : Steepest Descents converged 
to Fmax < 100 in 427 steps. Moreover, my output.gro file looks ok after the 
run. But in the directory, there were some files (8), called step.pdb, 
generated. 


But, it is said, actually simulation crashed, 
that is why these files are being generated ( Thread 2004 January). But in my 
case, if the program was crashed, then why it ran till 427th step to finish EM 
to the desired accuracy.

 Furthermore, when I inspected the output file, 
I found the following similar messages on 8 occasions  : "t = 0.023 ps: Water 
molecule starting at atom 356 can not be settled. Check for bad contacts and/or 
reduce the timestep.Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates".

 I constructed the water box using packmol 
program. If I want to avoid these error messages, What should I do?


thanks in advance,
Jestin

What I see the difference between the .gro file given at the examples in the

the last lines gives 0.000 0.000 0. in my file and in the examples it is 
not. 

I assume it is the dimension of the box, isn' it?

I built up the gro file using editconf -f *.pdb file.

 Dear Gromacs users,

Thanks for the messages.

Tsjerk,

I was not aware that capital letters denote unpolite. I just used them to 
highlight the problem so others can easily pick out. Thanks for the suggestions 
as well.

I modified the file:
***

cpp= /lib/cpp
define = -DPOSRES -DFLEX_SPC
constraints=  none
morse  =  no
integrator = steep
nsteps = 2000
; Energy minimizing
emtol  = 100
emstep = 0.1
nstcomm= 1
nstlist= 10
ns_type= grid
pbc= xyz
rlist  = 0.8
coulombtype= pme
rcoulomb   = 0.8
vdw-type   = cut-off
rvdw   = 0.8
nstenergy  = 10
Tcoupl = no
Pcoupl = no
gen_vel= no
*


But the message is the same.


As Dallas and others mentioned, I attach the last part of myt .gro file

Dear David,


I didn't get the desired box length when I tried to use editconf command ( I 
took the tip5p box from gromacs/tutor directory) . Then, I tried editconf 
command to generate .gro file using myown water box. It worked!! 


Still, there is a problem. How can I create .ndx file?- I tried  
make_ndx -n tip5p_W.pdb, but it resulted in a message: input/output error.

Could you suggest an alternative way for builing up ndx files?

I think, I must use the command

 to generate the box of desired length.

I didn't notice this command, hence was the confusion. Sorry for the

Re: Re: [gmx-users] Creating .top, .gro, .ndx, .itp files for TIP5Pwater

2007-11-17 Thread JMandumpal
 Thanks David for the reply.

I was able to build topology file from the info given in 
the top directory. In contrast to the .gro file for TIP5P box, containing 516 
water molecules, given at the top directory, I need a specific box size with 
exact number of water molecules (258 in 20.1* 20.1 * 20.1) in order to match 
the experimental density 0.997 gm/cm3. So, I need to create the .gro file and 
when I tried to create it with pdb2gmx -o tip5p.pdb, it didn't work as I 
mentioned earlier!!!

How can I build up the .gro file for my water box.

regards,
Jestin

[gmx-users] Creating .top, .gro, .ndx, .itp files for TIP5Pwater

2007-11-14 Thread JMandumpal
 Friends,

  I would like to simulate a box of water  (TIP5P model), with 258 water 
molecules. When I tried to build up the .top, .gro and .ndx files using the 
command pdb2gmx -p -i -n -o -f tip5p_W.pdb,

I got an error message : input/ output error, program aborted.

MY input structure, ie, tip5p_W.pdb contains the co ordinates for the solvent 
box and therefore I dont need to solvate it again!!

Could you suggest the exact way to build up thes files ( .top, .gro, .ndx, .itp 
) with a starting structure (.pdb files)?


regards,
Jestin Mandumpal

[gmx-users] GLYCAM (sugars) with TIP5P in GROMACS

2007-10-30 Thread JMandumpal
 Dear GROMACS users,

I would like to use Glycam forcefields for sugars with TIP5P water model. Does 
anyone have experience(GROMACS) simulating using GLYCAM/TIP5P?


cheers
