Dear all,

I have made a test calculation of local pressure using version 4.5 for my membrane simulation using CHARMM FF. When rerun the simulation, mdrun gives the localpressure data. Howeve, instead of giving an anveraged data of the local pressure, mdrun gives a separate file for each frame, so I got many files: localpressure.dat0, localpressure.dat1, localpressure.dat2, localpressure.dat3 ...... Then I need to calculate the pressure tensor for each frame and make average. but these localpressure.dat files are very big (each file is about 30 Mb), occupying large space of the hard disk. Can anyone give some suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you very much!

I would expect that the output frequency is configurable, but can only suggest you consult what documentation exists for this version. Your main alternatives are

* to compress the files with (say) bzip2 or (less effective) gzip and construct a script to uncompress them singly and analyse them "on the fly" (AMBER users do a bit of this kind of thing, Google around) * to discard ones that are too frequent. However, judging from the numbers below, every 100ps is probably OK.

Mark

The command is:
mdrun_d -s lp.tpr -rerun box_md5.trr -x box_md5_rerun.xtc -o box_md5_rerun.trr -g md5_rerun.log -localpgrid 0.1
And the output message is:
........
Dumping local pressure based on 1 frames to localpressure.dat0...
Reading frame       2 time 119400.000

Dumping local pressure based on 1 frames to localpressure.dat1...

Run the bootstrap script.  It generates the configure script.
