Dear all,

To make molecules move, accelerate should be used. nstcomm is the frequency for 
center of mass motion removal 

But if they are used together, the molecule will not move.

I made a model system: a box of pure water. Adding accelerate to SOL in Z 
direction.

Firstly, comm_mode was set to no. But there was a warning during grompp:"You 
are not using center of mass motion removal (mdp option comm-mode),

numerical rounding errors can lead to build up of kinetic energy of the center 
of mass。 Net Acceleration in Z direction, will not be corrected"

The results really drift.

Then nstcomm=10 was set, the averaged velocity of water molecule in Z direction 
was close to zero.

I checked the tpr file using gmxdump, and found out that acc is set to 0, but 
accelerate   = 0.0  0.0  -0.001 is in mdout.mdp,

So How to use these two parameter together? Not only make the steady water flow 
but also not drift? 



Thanks a lot



Candery
