Subject: RE: [gmx-users] to know about constraints

Hello Justin

 For freezefprs, am using the .mdp file as follows:

; title             =  NACL6
cpp                 =  /usr/bin/cpp
define              =  -DPOSRE
constraints         =  none
integrator          =  steep
freezegrps          =  K+ CL-
freezedim           =  N N
.................................................
................................................

The error file is coming as:

Fatal error:
Invalid Freezing input: 2 groups and 2 freeze values

Is the .mdp wrong please suggest

Specify index file which include those two groups (K+ C-) with those names. You 
should also specify the third dimension for each group I guess: 
freezedim = N N Y N N Y

Provided that all of those atoms are in the same [moleculetype] in the topology,
this is a correct approach.

Did you set the correct "define" statement in the .mdp file?

Also note that a position restraint does not completely prevent motion, it just
disfavors it.  The magnitude of the energy penalty for displacement depends on
the force constant set in posre.itp.  You can also use freezegrps to completely
immobilize any subset of atoms in the system.
