Binary identical means that the files are identical bit-for-bit, i.e. if you ran "cmp traj1.trr traj2.trr" it would report the files to be the same/indistinguishable. This is normally only important for debugging. If you don't know it doesn't apply to you :-) All that matters for you is t

[gmx-users] editconf and the placement of the center of mass

2007-08-07 Thread Arneh Babakhani
Hi, In editconf, there's an option -center which allows you to place the geometrical center of your molecular at a desired location. I was wondering, is there an analogous option for the placement of the center of mass of a molecule? Thanks, Arneh __

Hi Erick, Thank you for you responce. I am sorry but I dont unterstand the term "_binary_ identical results". The first simulation was run on a linux machine (pentium 4) with gromacs 3.2 from the rpm included in suse. The new machine will be (Pentium4 Xeon) with gromacs 3.3 (manual compiled)

Hi Anthony, As long as the version you're continuing with is the same or more recent than the one you started with it should work fine; all gromacs output files are stored in portable formats and are can be read by newer versions. You are not guaranteed _binary_ identical results, though

Hi users: I have made some simulation in one of our workstation. Now I want to extend the simulations few nanoseconds. I can continue the simulations in other machine without affecting the results? I need to use the same gromacs version? Best Regards, Anthony __

RE: [gmx-users] Timestep

2007-08-07 Thread van Bemmelen
Ramya, A timestep of dt=0.002 already means a timestep of 2fs, since the unit of dt is ps. So a timestep of dt=0.002=2 fs works fine for you, which is perfectly normal. If you want to go higher you need to use certain tricks, as suggested by Xavier. I suggest you read the manual (e.g. http://www.

Hi, In principle Gromacs should never just crash with a segmentation fault, but at least give you a (perhaps cryptic) error message and exit somewhat gracefully. As far as I know there is only one exception to this: If you are using tabulated interactions the table can only be of finite s

It is not possible to answer your question from the information you give. A lot of things can cause a segmentation fault. From compilation to your particular system. Put a search on the user-list, you'll get an idea of possible problems. It depends what you will be looking at but I would suggest

10 ns of a solvated protein of regular size should not require much computing time. Increasing the time-step above 2 fs is a solution to increase the speed of the run but then you face the problem of not integrating the fast movement correctly and this can end up in large forces and then you run

Did you booted your lam? Go to a specific node of your cluster, for example node 3, and create a file with a simple name like lamhosts. This file must contain just the nodes you may want to boot (the name of the node, like no3, or something like this). Than, run lamboot lamhosts -v If you have tw
