Re: [gmx-users] MSD and frequency of writing trajectories

Sure. What's the MSD of a pendulum if you only sample at a rate equal to the period? How often you want to sample depends on the time scale of what you want to observe. That might be up to you to measure :-) Mark On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Anna Akinshina < anna.akinsh...@manchester.ac.uk>

Hi, For particles that diffuse more than half a box length between frames will appear as if they haven't moved much, assuming you have periodic boundary conditions. Erik On 22 May 2013, at 11:41, Anna Akinshina wrote: > Dear Gromacs Users, > > I have a question interpreting obtained msd da

Hello together, i refer here to the problem with msd mentioned at the beginning of September (see also below): i calculate msd this time for monomers (not for molecules as before) and i still observe finite size effects for chains if they include fixed bonds ([constrains]), however this effect

Hi, g_msd calculates the msd for molecules, not for atoms. I guess that would explain the result when you half the chain length. It might also explain the box size effects, since whole chains will still have a reduction in MSD due to periodiciy with a box of 3 Rg. If you run g_msd without -mol y

Hi, I did the calculation for water on both sides of bilayer. It is unlikely that water molecules donot cross the boundary. May be I need to wait for longer run such that molecules go out of box. I will check that. Thank you very much for your suggestions. Regards, Ananya. Ananya Debnath

Well. I think I agree with David 100 cations and 100 anions without solvent (am I correct?)... probably your system is freezing and an evidence of this is that the slope of your MSD graph tends to zero, so your D tends to zero too. But considering what you said about ACFs and RDFs, I thi

Hi Roman. Let me guess... in theory the MSD should start non-linear and after some time become linear until the end of simulation but the g_msd output starts linear and after become anything. I don´t know if I´m correct about your results but this was the results I had when trying to calcula

Hi Roman,It would help more if you mention what it does look like and why you would think it should look otherwise. Maybe you can link us an image of the graph?Haven't heard of strange behaviour concerning g_msd recently.., but haven't used it myself lately. Cheers,TsjerkOn 4/12/06, Roman Holomb <[
