Yeping Sun, Quoting Justin's answer for a similar question I had on how to repeat a simulation say 10 times " To run 10 independent simulations, I would run minimization once and start from 10 new equilibration runs, each with a different set of initial velocities (change gen_seed or simply se

Dear all, In the molecular dynamics parameters (.mdp option) section of the Gromacs user guide (http://manual.gromacs.org/documentation/2018/user-guide/mdp-options.html), there is an introduction of the "gen-vel" option. According to the introduction, if set to "yes", it will generate velocit
