Actually rlist has to be equal to rvdw for this case (PME will complain if it doesn't). I haven't had a water settling issue in a correctly setup system with rlist = rvdw and a switched rvdw. I do remember a bug in the code that forgets rlistlong is specified. > > > > > My second note is: > > > > NOTE 2 [file pr.mdp]: > > The sum of the two largest charge group radii (0.079505) is larger than > > rlist (1.200000) - rvdw (1.200000) > > > > > > which I sadly don't understand. > > > > http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors?highlight=errors#The_sum_of_the_two_largest_charge_group_radii_(X)_is_larger_than.c2.a0rlist_-_rvdw.2frcoulomb > > -Justin > I also get this note too, but the sum looks fine to me. If the sum > 0.15 then it typically indicates chargegroups are being used, which they shouldn't for charmm-based forcefields, but in this case the distance shown is on the order of a heavy-h bond. I think the note message is still related to rlist vs. rlistlong. anyway, I routinely ignore both these notes and it hasn't given me problems so far. I would still go bck to check the specific water that could not settle and see what the other particles near it are since that is probably the root of the problem. Also, we haven't been told what the results of the energy minimzation was... -- ================================================================== Peter C.
