Adding to my previous comments, It looks like that the third column is the
appropriate one to plot. However, I tried to use g_energy -b 0 -e 20000 to
take the whole trajectory (20000 ps) rather than half of the frames. But,
still g_energy take half of the frames. This has caused improper convergence
in viscosity values. If I take only the last 3000 ps (out of 10000ps), I
will get a viscosity of 0.920 with a large rmsd. Is there a bug in g_energy
switches?
I think this is because it use an autocorrelation function of the
pressure. By default it uses an FFT to compute it. The ACF at 20000 ps
has very poor statistics (1 data point) and can therefore ruin the
viscosity. Therefore ACFs by default are plotted to half the traj. There
is a flag to get a longer (noisier) ACF. g_energy -h might tell you
which one.

Well, two questions:
1. My bulk values are fluctuating around 60 (I assume cP). But it looks
like
very weird to me since experimental value for water viscosity is 0.854 cP.
My system is at 265K with 4202 molecules. Is sth strange going on? Or I am
missing some unit conversions in the plot.
Is the experimental value 0.854 at that temperature?
Could be the the unit is different in the output too. Doesn't it say in
the xvg file?
2. For calculation of protein diffusion constant, should we use the bulk
or
shear viscosity of the solvent (water)?
Why not use g_msd?

Hello,
I used g_energy –f *.edr –vis *.xvg –s *.tpr to calculate the viscosity
of my system which is water. Two files are generate: *.xvg and the
enecorr.xvg. Now, what should I do to calculate the viscosity of my
system with these two files? Sorry for such naïve question.
Plot the output .xvg; you will find it should contain two quantities: bulk
and
shear viscosity.
