I thought setting tau_t=0 for some of the groups means that they're not coupled. That is tau_t would in fact be infinite, but that would be more difficult to input, whereas if tau_t were actually equal to zero the situation (as you described it) would lack physical significance... Since only the Nose-Hoover thermostat gave me any trouble with setting tau_t=0, I thought this was already set as described above for all other thermostats (not including the SD thermal-coupling scheme). This was addressed in the past by Mark, David, you and myself :

How would I do so in Nose-Hoover? How would I do so in SD? -- View this message in context: http://gromacs.5086.n6.nabble.com/RE-Discontinuity-in-first-time-step-velocities-for-diatomic-molecule-locally-coupled-to-thermal-drain-tp4999293p4999449.html Sent from the GROMACS Users Forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- gmx-users mailing list gmx-users@gromacs.org http://lists.gromacs.org/mailman/listinfo/gmx-users * Only plain text messages are allowed! * Please search the archive at http://www.gromacs.org/Support/Mailing_Lists/Search before posting! * Please don't post (un)subscribe requests to the list.
