How can I take average.
summing up and dividing by the number of sims.

How much long I should run the simulation.
until the average converges.

Hello,


I am trying to calculate the dipole moment autocorrelation
function for my system (ionic liquid). I am using gromacs 4.0.7 version.


I run the simulation for 4 ns.  I run the following command to
calculate the dipole moment autocorrelation function

g_dipoles -f water.trr -s water.tpr -corr total -c

The function is not geting converge to zero.


I want to use this data for calculation of power spectra by fourier
transfom of dipole moment autocorrelation function.

Can you tell why its not geting converge to zero?


You have to simulate at least a few 10s of ns for such slow liquids to
converge. Alternatively you can average over many independent simulations
(10s).


Thanks


Nilesh
