Re: [gmx-users] Problem with equilibrated lipid bilayer structure

Is there a reason to switch water models? Gromacs supports both the traditional TIP3P and the CHARMM TIP3P (TIPS3P). Since you need to reinitialize velocities, it may not be a good idea to use Nose-Hoover and Parinello-Rahman straight away. Furthermore, you need to gen_vel=yes since gromacs

Depending on the # of atoms, 6000 frames may exceed the amount of ram a 32bit application can address (4GB). If you're having problems with the 64bit version, you should probably ask the vmd-l list. The only workaround other than that is trjconv -skip and make a trajectory file that skips
