Read the literature. You shouldn't be using a force field if you don't 
know how it works, what it's good for and what it fails at, and what the 
best practices are.

The answer depends on what you're doing.  If you've set "gen-vel = yes"
and "gen-temp = 338.15" then you are initializing a simulation with
random velocities according to a Maxwell distribution at that
temperature. If your system is at some other temperature and you're
just trying to use a thermostat to force a change in that temperature, there's no real 
"warming"
going on, rather the thermostat is going to push the velocity
distribution towards the desired temperature.  Warming a system is
done via simulated annealing options.

Hi,

That's your question as part of your experimental design. Why do you want to do 
simulated annealing?

Is simulated annealing carried out during NPT or in the production run?

The answer depends on what you're doing.  If you've set "gen-vel = yes" 
and "gen-temp = 338.15" then you are initializing a simulation with random 
velocities according to a Maxwell distribution at that temperature. If your 
system is at some other temperature and you're just trying to use a thermostat 
to force a change in that temperature, there's no real "warming" going on, 
rather the thermostat is going to push the velocity distribution towards the 
desired temperature.  Warming a system is done via simulated annealing options.

[gmx-users] Running MD simulations at a particular temperature

2017-09-19 Thread Pandya, Akash
Hi all,

I want to run my MD simulation at 65 degrees Celsius. The mdp file has a field 
as shown below:

ref_t= 338.15  338.15 ; reference 
temperature, one for each group, in K

I am wondering whether the simulation has already reached the desired 
temperature or does it heat up to 65 degrees throughout the course of the 
simulation? I hope this makes sense.

Many thanks,

Akash
