[gmx-users] range of gen_seed

2008-10-17 Thread sarbani chattopadhyay
  
Hi everyone,
   I want to start from the same starting structure with 
different velocities.

In the .mdp file. I used 3 different values for gen_seed for three 
different runs : 1. one is 
the default, the other two are 1 and 571.

I want to know that does this ensure that the mdrun starts with diffrent 
velocities ?

Is there any defined range for the random number generator?

Thanks in advance.___

I believe that (-1) as the seed takes the time or something as the actual
seed, thus ensuring no two identical seeds, and no two identical velocities.

You can have a look at the starting velocities by converting the tpr in
a gro file with editconf.
