Hi all, I am trying to simulate 100 molecules of n-alkane molecules but keep receiving LINC errors. When I completed steepest descent I received following msg:
Steepest Descents converged to Fmax < 500 in 819 steps Potential Energy = 1.7174361e+05 Maximum force = 4.4903098e+02 on atom 172 Norm of force = 3.0003010e+01 Then I performed mdrun with the output of this file and gets LINCS warning: Input Parameters: integrator = md nsteps = 8000 init_step = 0 ns_type = Grid nstlist = 10 ndelta = 2 nstcomm = 1 comm_mode = Linear nstlog = 10 nstxout = 250 nstvout = 1000 nstfout = 0 nstenergy = 10 nstxtcout = 0 init_t = 0 delta_t = 0.01 xtcprec = 1000 nkx = 125 nky = 125 nkz = 125 pme_order = 4 ewald_rtol = 1e-05 ewald_geometry = 0 epsilon_surface = 0 optimize_fft = TRUE ePBC = xyz bPeriodicMols = FALSE bContinuation = FALSE bShakeSOR = FALSE etc = V-rescale epc = No epctype = Isotropic tau_p = 1 ref_p (3x3): ref_p[ 0]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} ref_p[ 1]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} ref_p[ 2]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} compress (3x3): compress[ 0]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} compress[ 1]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} compress[ 2]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} refcoord_scaling = No posres_com (3): posres_com[0]= 0.00000e+00 posres_com[1]= 0.00000e+00 posres_com[2]= 0.00000e+00 posres_comB (3): posres_comB[0]= 0.00000e+00 posres_comB[1]= 0.00000e+00 posres_comB[2]= 0.00000e+00 andersen_seed = 815131 rlist = 1 rtpi = 0.05 coulombtype = PME rcoulomb_switch = 0 rcoulomb = 1 vdwtype = Cut-off rvdw_switch = 0 rvdw = 2 epsilon_r = 1 epsilon_rf = 1 tabext = 1 implicit_solvent = No gb_algorithm = Still gb_epsilon_solvent = 80 nstgbradii = 1 rgbradii = 2 gb_saltconc = 0 gb_obc_alpha = 1 gb_obc_beta = 0.8 gb_obc_gamma = 4.85 sa_surface_tension = 2.092 DispCorr = No free_energy = no init_lambda = 0 sc_alpha = 0 sc_power = 0 sc_sigma = 0.3 delta_lambda = 0 nwall = 0 wall_type = 9-3 wall_atomtype[0] = -1 wall_atomtype[1] = -1 wall_density[0] = 0 wall_density[1] = 0 wall_ewald_zfac = 3 pull = no disre = No disre_weighting = Conservative disre_mixed = FALSE dr_fc = 1000 dr_tau = 0 nstdisreout = 100 orires_fc = 0 orires_tau = 0 nstorireout = 100 dihre-fc = 1000 em_stepsize = 0.01 em_tol = 10 niter = 20 fc_stepsize = 0 nstcgsteep = 1000 nbfgscorr = 10 ConstAlg = Lincs shake_tol = 0.0001 lincs_order = 4 lincs_warnangle = 30 lincs_iter = 1 bd_fric = 0 ld_seed = 1993 cos_accel = 0 deform (3x3): deform[ 0]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} deform[ 1]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} deform[ 2]={ 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00, 0.00000e+00} userint1 = 0 userint2 = 0 userint3 = 0 userint4 = 0 userreal1 = 0 userreal2 = 0 userreal3 = 0 userreal4 = 0 grpopts: nrdf: 11297 ref_t: 300 tau_t: 0.1 anneal: No ann_npoints: 0 acc: 0 0 0 nfreeze: N N N energygrp_flags[ 0]: 0 efield-x: n = 0 efield-xt: n = 0 efield-y: n = 0 efield-yt: n = 0 efield-z: n = 0 efield-zt: n = 0 bQMMM = FALSE QMconstraints = 0 QMMMscheme = 0 scalefactor = 1 qm_opts: ngQM = 0 Table routines are used for coulomb: TRUE Table routines are used for vdw: FALSE Will do PME sum in reciprocal space. ++++ PLEASE READ AND CITE THE FOLLOWING REFERENCE ++++ U.
