Sorry for the abnormal code. I have fixed that. --- Hi, My gromacs version is 4.0.5. I used grompp to generate tpr for 1ps simulation in this way grompp -f md1.mdp -n index.ndx  -p topol.top -c 0ps.gro  -t 0ps.trr -o 1ps.tpr mdrun -s 1ps.tpr -e 1ps.edr -o 1ps.trr -g 1ps.log -c 1ps.gro Here is my md1.mdp file: ; title = ttt cpp = /lib/cpp   constraints = hbons ;define = -DFLEX_SPC   integrator = md  emtol = 100.0 emstep = 0.005  dt = 0.002 ; ps! nsteps = 500 ; total 1ps nstcomm = 500   ntsxout = 500   ntsvout = 500  ntsfout = 500   ntslog = 500  nstenergy = 500 nstlist = 5    ns_type = grid   rlist = 1. rcoulomb = 1. rvdw = 1. coulombtype = PME fourierspacing = 0.12 pme_order = 4 optimize_fft = yes Tcoupl = v-rescale rc-grps = A-chain B-chain drug SOL NA+ ;tau_t = 0.1 0.1 tau_t =0.2 0.2 0.2 0.2 ref_t = 300.000000 300.000000 300.000000 300.00000 300.000000 energygrps = A-chain B-chain druhg SOL NA+ Pcoupl = berendsen Pcoupltype = isotropic ;tau_p = 0.1 tau_p = 0.25 compressibility = 5.4e-5 ref_p = 1.0 gen_vel = yes gen_temp = 300.000000 gen_seed = 173531 gen_seed            =  173531 ---------------------------------------------- Then I execute below loop in other 59999 times for the totaly 60ns trajectories. grompp -f md2.mdp -n index.ndx  -p topol.top -c ${n-1}ps.gro  -t ${n-1}ps.trr -o ${n}ps.tpr mdrun -s ${n}ps.tpr -e ${n}ps.edr -o ${n}ps.trr -g ${n}ps.log -c ${n}ps.gro The file md2.mdp is almost the same as md1.mdp but the parameter gen_vel=no. Here ${n-1}ps.gro and ${n-1}.trr mean I use last time frame trajectory to continue.(I didn't really use this commend $(n-1) in bash script, it won't work.)
I change the other way to run parallel simulation on the same system fordouble check since above script is difficult to parallelize in public computer. The new method is: grompp -f md60ns.mdp -n index.ndx  -p topol.top -c 0ps.gro  -t 0ps.trr -o 60ns.tpr mpiexec -np 8 mdrun_mpi -s 60ns.tpr -e 60ns.edr -o 60ns.trr -g 60ns.log -c 60ns.gro The only different between md1.mdp and md60ns.mdp is nstep=30000000 in md60ns.mdp. Theses two data generated by different ways are totaly different. Here I mean different is not on the number buy mean the tendency of figure. In the movie of first method, protein runs violently and go outside the periodic boundary and then split by cubic edge. The interaction energy within protein also fluctuate in an unstable way. On the contrary, the second method generate a stable movie and fluctuation of interaction energy. Theotically these two should be the same, right? Is anything wrong in my work?
