[gmx-users] [Fwd: Problems in pulling a molecule from the membrane]
I have tested the pulling in GROMACS 4.0.2 only once and there only with 'pull_geometry = position'. But i think the problem lies in the pressure-coupling or something which is connected to it ' Step 1 Warning: pressure scaling more than 1%, mu: 1.00054 1.00054 0.83511'. Because i have not yet used pressure-coupling (only done NVT) . So the only think i can do is: Look at: http://wiki.gromacs.org/index.php/Errors#Pressure_scaling_more_than_1.25 Sorry that i can not give more help. Probably one thing: I would try 'tinit=0'. I do not know how the code works, but i can imagine that with a non-zero value, the spring move but the system cannot do something. Then when the real simulation begins the spring has actually moved and you have an force acting on your pull-group which is much higher then with 'tinit=0'. But this is only an idea and i do not know if it has any relevance . Probalby one of the other guys knows if this matters. Thomas Dear Thomas, I found your name from the gromacs mailing list. As you are the one of the fortunate persons who has able to do pulling in gromacs 4.02, I directly mail you. I want to pull a molecule from the membrane.

RE: [gmx-users] [Fwd: Problems in pulling a molecule from the membrane]
Hi, First let me say you should change to 4.0.4. I don't recall if there would be problems with your setup, but 4.0.4 has many bugfixes. I guess you problem is that you use pull_start and pull_init togther, which I guess produces double the effect you want. Please read the mdp manual. I guess you should use only one of the two options.
