Re: [gmx-users] Parrinello-Rahman with surface-tension coupling

2012-08-14 Thread Felipe Pineda, PhD

Thanks for the advice, Mark!

I did exactly this experiment with the same expectations before posting 
my query. I didn't get any complaint neither from grompp nor from mdrun, 
what doesn't necessarily mean that this combination is implemented. I 
just noticed that during equilibration results deteriorate, i.e., the 
normal pressure which already was close to the target value gets 
negative, and the surface tension increases significantly over the 
target value. This could of course be an effect of the different 
pressure coupling method used.


Kind regards,

Felipe

Dear All,

the Gromacs User Manual V.4.5.4 states on p. 33: (...) the surface
tension and the z-component of the pressure can be coupled to a
pressure bath. Presently, this only works with the Berendsen pressure
coupling algorithm in GROMACS.

My question: does this hold for V. 4.5.5 as well? Is it possible to
use the combination:

pcoupl= Parrinello-Rahman
pcoupltype = surface-tension

in an mdp file for a NPgammaT MD run?

Probably, but you should try it and see :-) Likely grompp will complain
if it is not implemented.

[gmx-users] Parrinello-Rahman with surface-tension coupling

2012-08-13 Thread Felipe Pineda, PhD

Dear All,

the Gromacs User Manual V.4.5.4 states on p. 33: (...) the surface 
tension and the z-component of the pressure can be coupled to a pressure 
bath. Presently, this only works with the Berendsen pressure coupling 
algorithm in GROMACS.


My question: does this hold for V. 4.5.5 as well? Is it possible to use 
the combination:


pcoupl= Parrinello-Rahman
pcoupltype = surface-tension

in an mdp file for a NPgammaT MD run?

Your help and comments will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Felipe
