Hi Mark
How come 7 +/- 500 bar is approximately 1 bar. Can you explain it more
clearly? It will be of more useful to me to understand the concept.
Suppose you do two simulations. In one, the result is 7+/-500 and in the other,
the result is 1+/-500. Even though the latter achieves the preferred result
(average pressure of 1 bar), statistically, there is no difference between these
two results because of the huge standard deviations in the data.
One more thing, density (from g_energy command) of water is found to low
(expected 1000) after NPT is equilibration. why? given below is my
average density value. Can i proceed with this density value?

Density (SI) 979.37 14.3238 14.2431 -0.0525784

Real water and SPC water are different. I don't know that there is any water
model out there that perfectly reproduces all the properties of water. A
density around 980 sounds about right for SPC.
A comment on your previous approach: you're hoping to achieve the same box
dimensions for two different systems in order to concatenate them and make an
interfacial system? It would be far easier to create the organic phase, extend
the box in z, and then solvate with genbox.

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
