More specifically, <U> + <V>*ref_p = H

<H> isn't really meaningful thing.  I mean, you can define something
such that <H*> = H, but that's not really thermodynamics.

sorry I always have issues deciding how to talk about this stuff, so
thanks
for putting up with my terrible notation =)

example system gives <H> = -1168 kJ/mol and i find <H> = -725 kJ/mol
either

Interesting.  What material at what phase conditions?  For liquids,
the PV contribution should be very small.

I hadn't really thought about that... but the system is a monatomic
Lennard-Jones particle (uncharged sigma = 0.35 nm epsilon = 2 kJ/mol mass
=
40 amu) which should be a liquid at the conditions I was looking at,
P=1000
bar, T = 300 K using phase diagram in: Equation of state for the
Lennard-Jones fluid, J. J. Nicolas et al., MOLECULAR PHYSICS, 1979, VOL.
37,
No. 5, 1429-1454

the <U> is -1600 and the p<V> is 880 when manually done, around 400 from
g_energy
Here's the code:
             /* This is pV (in kJ/mol).  The pressure is the reference
pressure,
                not the instantaneous pressure */
             pv = vol*md->ref_p/PRESFAC;

             add_ebin(md->ebin, md->ipv, 1, &pv, bSum);
             enthalpy = pv + enerd->term[F_ETOT];

What is your volume?
What is Etot?

a bit messy but this is data from g_energy for the system with increasing
temperature (300 K-1000 K), and constant pressure of 1000 bar (so 100 000
000 Pascals):

all uncorrected for the number of particles in the box (so Etot is in kJ/256
mol of particles)

when i use this data to get H myself i get:

H
kJ/mol
-725.32948
242.7114
1188.90386
2071.63498
2881.65838
3632.9828
4345.2573
5017.41396

again uncorrected for the number of particles in the box

Thoughts?

Your calculation seems correct. Which gmx version did you use?
The correlation between the numbers is almost 100% so there must be a simple explanation.
