Dear All
I am learning molecular simulation using Gromacs. when I complete my
simulation, How can I check that my simulation run was o.k. and the
output so obtained can be trusted. Is there any easy calculation, which
could be performed.

No. These tend to be "how long should a piece of string be?" questions, unfortunately.

The best thing to do is to have the simulation objective in mind before you touch a computer. Now you can hopefully make decisions for the right reasons, and can grapple sensibly with assessing whether you've achieved that objective.

True. There are certain things that are fairly general though. For instance, see if the conseved thrermodynamic quantities for your simulated ensemble are converged. If not, the simulation may still be ok, but may not be long eniough.
