[gmx-users] can I change atom position after x steps

2013-04-08 Thread fatemeh ramezani
Dear all

 I am simulating gold nanoparticle interaction with 10 aminoacids.Two amino 
acids have been far from the nanoparticleafter 2000 steps. 
Now, Can I change after2000 steps, the position of these 2 aminoacids in  PDP 
file and then continue the simulation?

I doubt that would be stable. You've taken a trajectory that has run for
some amount of time, seriously perturbed it, then you hope to continue it?
 You're better off starting a new simulation altogether. Also realize that
2000 steps, irrespective of what the timestep is, is extremely short.
