Hi all,
Thank you for the reply. The answer I got for the second question
about table-extension, I understand and agree with that.
Regarding my first question I asked, I did not get any error with
grompp even when I tried rlist=rvdw=2.0 and rcoulomb=0. For this I
used the no cut-off conditions which I have mentioned below in my
previous e-mail. I am using Gromacs-4.0.7. Any further suggestions or
comments will be very helpful.
VDW interactions normally become insignificant much faster than Coulomb
interactions, so treating all Coulomb interactions and only some VDW
interactions is logical. However, performing the search for neighbours
takes time, and given that you are computing the distances already for
their Coulomb interaction, it is probably cheaper just to compute all
the VDW interactions, i.e. rlist=rvdw=0. This might be different if you
had a lot of atoms that had zero partial charge.

Hi Swarnendu,
grompp will return errer unless rlist=rcoulomb=rvdw=0, so you
should stick to it.
Cheers,

Hello everybody,
I want to use the no cut-off option in gromacs for the
electrostatic interactions. In manual it says for this I
need to define: pbc=no; nstlist=0; ns-type=simple and
rlist=rcoulomb=rvdw=0 in the .mdp file.
My questions are:
1. If I choose rcoulomb=0 and rlist=rvdw=2.0 is that a
problem? Do you always recommend to use
rlist=rcoulomb=rvdw=0 for no cut-off option?
2. How should I choose the table-extension parameter now?
Before, with pbc=xyz (with cut-off) I used
table-extension=rvdw+1/2*length of the longest diagonal of
the box (approximately). I am also using a tabulated
potential.
Since there is effectively no box once pbc=no, your tables need
only be as long as the longest possible interaction, plus some
margin for when the structure rearranges.
