Hi everybody,

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
I thought ref_p would need to be 0.0 and 0.0 if I wanted zero surface
tension. How else could I get a tensionless membrane?


As far as I understand, surface tension is only applied when using "pcoupl = surface-tension" and then ref_p specifies the value of surface tension in bar-nm. Normally, ref_p specifies the reference pressure for an NPT ensemble.

As for the generating velocities, I completely forgot that would ruin the
equilibrium. Would you recommend saying gen_vel = no or simply raising the
gen_temp closer to the required value? If the second how close do you think
I should keep it? Sorry for bombarding you guys with so many questions!


gen_temp is irrelevant when gen_vel is set to "no."

Also no one has commented on this so I'm guessing using the structure file
from the Berendsen run is an okay way to do what I want?


The configuration alone is insufficient. You should preserve the previous ensemble by passing the final .cpt file to grompp -t.
