Re: [gmx-users] configuration of system for small molecule crystal simulations

2006-09-26 Thread Tsjerk Wassenaar

Hi Vik,

Did you make sure the (rotational) orientation of your molecule
corresponded to the triclinic unit cell? And did you visualize the
crystal (using e.g. genconf to extend the system)?

Hope it helps,

Tsjerk

molecule in a triclinic box with dimensions equal to the lattice
dimensions, and I am not certain that this will result in appropriate
boundary conditions.  My simulation is currently blowing up, so I am
revisiting the initial setup and minimization.

If someone can clarify or provide an example of a similar problem, I
would appreciate it very much.
