Re: [gmx-users] Re: LINCS error

2011-12-21 Thread aiswarya . pawar
I did few changes ie decreased the time step/ increased the equilibration 
steps/ omitted the generation of velocity in production run / did 2 steps of 
equilibration / checked the starting structure for steric clashes. 

I don't understand what else should I try to fix the lincs warnings.

[gmx-users] Re: LINCS error

2011-12-20 Thread aiswarya pawar
i went through the mailing list, but i dont understand when i run the same
protein on my computer it runs correctly without any LINCS warning. On the
cluster with 64 processors the job runs but crashes in between and shows
the LINCS warning.


Please anyone tell me what could be the reason. Is anything wrong with my
protein.

 The minimization step went well. but while doing the final mdrun am
 getting LINCS error. i read through the numerous mailing list on grimaces
 but still couldn't understand how would i fix this. am getting this error
 for all the 10 protein complex i did minimization for. Please help.


 Thanks,

That happens. Your different computers are running different versions of the 
calculation. Numerical artefacts do happen, especially if you use algorithms 
that are known to be unstable when not in equilibrium, like I said three days 
ago. Why have you repeated your question instead of trying my suggestion?



 Please anyone tell me what could be the reason. Is anything wrong with my 
 protein.
 


Something is very likely wrong with your system preparation. The links people 
have been giving you detail the advice on how to diagnose the problem or how to 
be more gentle. There's little else for me to say.
