Re: [gmx-users] How to run MD with longer recording interval to reduce the file size?

Hello, Thank you Justin and Qinghua! Can I ask 1) I could not find "nstfout" (forces) in the md.mdp file from the tutorial. Should I add a new line of "nstfout=0"? Yeah, you can add that line, or you can leave it be, the default is set as ZERO. 2) should I change "nstxout-compressed=5000" to

Hello, Here is the settings I used in the mdp file, you may consider it. nstxout = 0 ; save coordinates every 2 ps nstvout = 0 ; save velocities every 2 ps nstxtcout   = 500   ; xtc compressed trajectory output every 2 ps nstenergy   =

Dear Qinghua, Thank you very much. Do you mean set "nstvout" and "nstenergy" as 0? Also, how to set xtc-grps as a group? The original md.mdp file is: title = OPLS MD simulation ; Run parameters integrator = md; leap-frog integrator nsteps = 1

Hello, Normally, you don't need to write out the force and velocity, then you can set nstfout and nstvout as ZERO, then only the coordinates will be written out in a xtc file. If you don't care about waters, then you can also set xtc-grps as a group without waters and counterions. Best,

Dear Gromacs, I am following Justin's tutorial of "Lysozyme in Water" to run the MD. The .trr file got more than 10 GB after 30 ns. So I plan to run a MD with less frequent intervals. In the md.mdp file, the "dt = 0.002". My understanding is to change the five "5000" into "5" to achieve
