I am using the semiisotropic pressure scaling because i want the box size to remain the same as that of the original box size in X and Y axis and want to change it only on the Z axis. I am doing this because at a latter stage i want to create an interface with organic solvent where i need the cross sections (X and Y axis length) of both the box should be the same.

what i should do now  get the pressure of 1 bar?

7 +/- 500 *is* approximately 1 bar, and hardly any better an approximation than 1 +/- 500. If you want lower fluctuations, use a larger system and run for a much longer time. Or, since you'll have to re-equilibrate once you combine the solvent boxes, don't bother.

Has no one has got the pressure of water to be close to 1 bar in GROMACS till now?

        Hi Mark

        I read the link before posting the question. even though the
        fluctation
        is between 500-600 (as said in the link) bar the average
        pressure is
        around 7.4 bar. my concern is the average pressure?. Because
        at a latter
        stage i am going to combine this water box with another
        organic solvent
        and i want to avoid any complications there.


    Think again of what you just wrote. Your value is 7 +/- 500. In
    fact according to normal statistical rules you should round the
    value of 7 to 0. If you want more accurate number you could
    increase the box size by a factor of 100.

    By the way, why are you using semiisotropic pressure scaling in a
    water box?

               Hi Gromacians

               I want to do equilibration of water (spc model) first
        in the NVT
               ensemble and then in the NPT ensemble to maintain a
        temperature
               of 300K and a pressure of 1 bar respectively. The NVT
               equilibration works fine and the average temperature
        turns out
               to be 299.229 K.

                 when i do NPT equilibration i am not getting the desired
               pressure as 1 bar or atleast close to 1 bar (between
        1-1.4 bar).
               In the mdp file i used semiisotropic pressure coupling type
               because i want to fix the length of the box same on two
        axis as
               that of the original box size and want to change it
        only on one
               axis. can any one tell me why iam not getting the desired
               pressure of 1 bar?.


           This looks normal for a smallish water system over 100ps. See
