Hello,the pairs potential is a (classic) lennard jones potential till the value
of table extension. The problem in my example was in the precision of the value
of sigma. Under the pairs section I was able to put the value 0.23160, yet I
could not in the gro file for the coordinates of the atoms, where there I could
put only 0.231 or 0.232. Changing sigma to 0.231 I notticed that I get zero
exactly at that distance.
What I have noticed also is that table extension should be bigger than any pair
distance in one's system. If it is so, and someone get errors, for example
system exploding, probably there is a problem in one's topology.

Betreff: [gmx-users] pairs potential

Hello,
I would like to know the potential that the atoms under the pairs section are
using. For that reason, I tried to test the most simple of systems, that is a
two hydrogen system atom model.
The sigma in my pairs section is 0.23160nm, yet I do not observe the pairs
potential to be zero in that value. My table extension is 5nm and my box size
50nm in any side.
The potential becomes zero for the second time, when the distance becomes equal
to the value of the table extension parameter. Now, if the pairs are using
lennard jones potential, I think that the first zero point (of the LJ-14
output) should be at a distance equal to the sigma value under the pairs
section. I get zero neither there nor in the sigma of the nonbond_params nor in
rvdw-switch values.
I do not think that the pairs potential is a shifted one either because I get
a wave like function till the potential becomes zero at the table extension
value. Could you shed some light on this, because up to now in this section
gromacs is a black box to me.
Thank you,
Regards!
