[gmx-users] Vectors in non-cubic box

2011-03-05 Thread afsaneh maleki
Hi,

I want to create  *.gro file with simulation box size as following:

 3.460467452  0.  0.

 1.730233726 2.9968527222000  0.

 0.   0.  10.00

I used the command:

]editconf –f  *.pdb   –o *.gro   –box  3.46   3.46   10.–c–angle
 90  90  60

 are these commands  proper to create this simulation box size?



 system size :  4.975  2.951  0.084 (nm)

center  :  0.025  0.548  0.966 (nm)

box vectors :  0.000  0.000  0.000 (nm)

box angles  :   0.00   0.00   0.00 (degrees)

box volume  :   0.00   (nm^3)

shift   :  2.570  0.951  4.034 (nm)

new center  :  2.595  1.498  5.000 (nm)

new box vectors :  3.460  3.460 10.000 (nm)

new box angles  :  90.00  90.00  60.00 (degrees)

new box volume  : 103.68   (nm^3)



Also I paste some .gro file

1   NAU   39   1.759   1.647   4.998

1   HAC   41   1.855   1.618   4.993

-0.   -0.0



What is three last values in box vector,0.00 -0.00 -.0 0?


Would one please clear me about these vectors?



3.46000   2.99645   10.0   0.0   0.0   1.73000   0.

I have another question that does  g_hbond has the compatibility with
non-cubic (or parallelpiped) cells?

Hi Afsaneh,

The PBC and the .gro file format are explained in the manual, chapter 3.
The last line of the .gro file has the box stored as

XX YY ZZ XY XZ YX YZ ZX ZY

[gmx-users] Warning: 1-4 interaction

2011-03-05 Thread Moeed
Hi everyone,

My attempt to conduct a NPT failed although everything seemed to be going
well. Topology is OK and I am just curious why system is blowing up all of a
sudden towards the end of simulation. I should mention that by changing
fourierspacing from 0.12 to 0.3 everything works fine till the end of run
and comparison between energy terms (up until the crash point) shows very
slight difference between two runs ( less than 2% even for electrostatic
terms). I am aware that blowing up is due to unphysical forces but is this
happening by accidient or there is an underlying reason I should take care
of.

Thanks,
Best,
Moeed

Everything has a cause; nothing is accidental.  No stable run should ever show 
LINCS warnings like this, so yes, there is something to fix.


You also have not proven that your fourierspacing is not the cause.  The proper 
term to analyze is Coul-recip, which corresponds to reciprocal space Coulombic 
term.  I don't see that listed below.

Don't change fourierspacing unless you can measure the error so introduced 
(which you can't, easily, yet), and can defend the assertion that it does not 
affect your observations.

Generating velocities at the start of an NPT run seems unwise. A better-behaved 
protocol will equilibrate the velocities under NVT before fixing the density 
under NPT, before then moving to the production simulation ensemble.

Hello Justin,

I just scanned through the manual and also looked into the list to learn
about the significance of reciprocal part to realize your statement. I did
not find much about the fact that how I can judge if fourierspacing is the
cause of the crash (I mean relevance between fourierspacing and coulb
recip). I suspect the cause of crashes is because of electrostatics
settings. BEfore that I had only vdw no run crashed. Since I used to get
LINCS warning I removed bond constraints but still system is showing
instabilities. I am confident that topology is fine and just wondering how
else one can inspect root cause for unphysical forces.

The manual will not describe every detail, but an understanding of the 
algorithms (through reading the appropriate literature) should provide you with 
what you need.  Take Mark's advice and leave fourierspacing at its default value 
unless you are 100% sure of the effects of messing with it.


electrostatics settings. BEfore that I had only vdw no run crashed. 


That was a broken model, as we've discussed.  Don't believe that its results are 
reliable.


Since I used to get LINCS warning I removed bond constraints but still 


LINCS warnings don't mean you should turn off constraints.  With a 2-fs timestep 
and an all-atom model, you absolutely need to be using constraints.

system is showing instabilities. I am confident that topology is fine 
and just wondering how else one can inspect root cause for unphysical 
forces.




The best advice I can give has already been given:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up#Diagnosing_an_Unstable_System

Watch the trajectory.  See what falls apart.

You're also applying 70 bar of pressure to a system that may not yet be properly 
equilibrated for such conditions.  I have found that the Parrinello-Rahman 
barostat is not particularly well-suited to harsh conditions, tight coupling, or 
simulations of any system that is far from equilibrium.  You might be better off 
with Berendsen (and a fairly long tau_p) until your system stabilizes.

Everything has a cause; nothing is accidental.  No stable run should
ever show LINCS warnings like this, so yes, there is something to fix.

You also have not proven that your fourierspacing is not the cause.
 The proper term to analyze is Coul-recip, which corresponds to
reciprocal space Coulombic term.  I don't see that listed below.
