Thanks for all your answers. I tried collecting data more frequently (100 fs), used -trestart as the entire trajectory; however my diffusion coefficient for D2O is still in the range 1.4 - 1.5 e-5 cm^2/s. Surprisingly, the number of Hbonds, potential energy, density are all what would be expected f

What time period do you use to fit the mean-squared displacement to determine the diffusion coefficient? g_msd determines the diffusion coefficient by performing a linear fit over the time interval specified by the -beginfit and -endfit flags, which default to 10% and 90% of the simulation time (if

Thanks for your reply David. However, what I am concerned is that with the parameters, q[O] = -0.870, and q[H] = 0.435, the original author reported diffusion coefficient very close to 2.0 e-5 cm^2/s. My values for even much longer simulations (200 ns after 1ns each of NVT and NPT equilibration) re
