Hi gmx users, I have tried to simulate a box with 1000 molecules of toluene and I always have obtained a positive value for the potential energy. I have used three different models of potential (with and without 14 interactions) and all of them provides a positive value for energy. I must be falling in some error or making some wrong analysis but I do not know what. Below I put the average values that I got from the simulations that I made. If somebody will be able to help me, I will be grateful! Bests eef
Two questions about these results: # Why are so larger the values for LJ-14? # How can I compose the potential energy from the components? Would not be U = LJ + Coul + bond + ang + dihed ? And LJ-14?
