Re: [gmx-users] Giving an initial velocity to a group of atoms
Hi, You can use grompp to generate velocities, use editconf to turn the .tpr into a .gro file, and then do some operation on the velocities (e.g. add constants to various groups) but this won't help much in the condensed phase, because of collisions. Pulling groups is a different matter - see manual and tutorials. Mark On Sun, May 17, 2015 at 5:43 PM Jashimuddin Ashraf jashimuddin.ashra...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks a lot for your reply Dr. Lemkul. It is working now. The velocities are matching exactly as I have given them in the .gro file. But as the velocities I am giving are not very well calculated, the results are not very useful. If i wanted to give a group of atoms a certain velocity with respect to another group of atoms in my system (for example, if i had a system with a protein and a CNT and I wanted to start the simulation with an initial velocity of the CNT with respect to the protein) what shoud I do? I understand that this is not an error related to GROMACS but it would be very much helpful for me if you could shed some light on the problem that I am facing. Thanks in advance.

Re: [gmx-users] freezegrps changing coordinates in NPT simulations
Hi Jon, I note that when using pcoupl = Parrinello-Rahman, the frozen group will be scaled. But when pcoupl = berendsen, the frozen group will stay at its initial position, and will not be scaled.

[gmx-users] warter freeze into ice when cutoff-scheme=Verlet and coulombtype = cut-off
Hi everyone, I found that after gromacs version 4.6, when set cutoff-scheme=Verlet and coulombtype= cut-off, the waters in the system will freeze into ice.

[gmx-users] Simulation of Carbon Nanotubes with bending deformities
Dear gromacs users, I am simulating carbon nanotubes in GROMACS. So far I have only simulated straight CNTs. Now I'd also like to simulate CNTs with bending deformities. I have generated a bent .pdb of my nanotube structure and the simulation runs without any error (I have run the energy minimization and the structure after energy minimization is quite okay). But my problem is as soon as I run the simulation, the bent CNT goes straight within a few pico seconds. Is this because of my forcefield (I have only considered a bond length of 0.1418 nm in my forcefield.itp file)? How can I solve this problem?
