You have to rerun the trajectory ... not frame by frame!

Notes:
- that there is issue on pressure tensor calculation when constrains are
used
- simulations need to be quite long to get a reasonable convergence.

Dear users,

I am attempting to perform 3D pressure tensor calculation on well- converged all-atom lipid bilayer. I am using modified gromacs and - rerun option and analyze the output with the tools that is provided on Martini website. I had following question: I have a production trajectory from original MD calculations, and I also have separate snapshots saved once in 100ps. As I understand, for pressure calculations I need to use -rerun on separate snapshots. Is this the case? If so, I would get as an output bunch of local_pressure.dat files. How do I analyze them? One by one? I would greatly appreciate if somebody can describe the sequence of events that I need to go through in order to obtain pressure profiles.

Thank you for you assistance,

Sincerely,
George

I am doing some molecular dynamics simulations of membrane systems and i would like to ask you if someone know or have a code for the calculation of the lateral pressure profile from the data obtained doing membrane simulations.

You can find everything you need from here:
http://www.cgmartini.nl/index.php/tools/114-3d-pf

It is a custom version of Gromacs that calculates a 3D pressure field using the -rerun option of mdrun, as explained in Ollila et al. (2009) PhysRevLett 102: 078101. Before you do the rerun, you need to redo grompp with 'userreal1' set to the desired grid size. The analysis tools there can then be used to calculate e.g. a lateral pressure profile... Note that constraints are a bit problematic, though, so if your lipids have constraints, the profile may not be accurate.

Best regards,
