Re: [gmx-users] Adding ions

The problem I was facing earlier: in the force field files (I am ussing ffG53a6) the ions are named NA+, CL-, for example, so with capital letters. Genion will add to the topology the ions named by default Na or Cl, unless you use the options -pname and/or -nname to name the ions. I do so and I hav

Hi, With only 1 pull dimension active (through pull_dims) all three geometries are equivalent. In 2 or 3D there are all different. With pull_geometry=direction the pull force is the force working along the direction vector. So in general you can't incorporate the direction (only sign in your c

Hi, I think you mis-read the manual. With constant-force there is no reference position (since a linear potential has no reference point), but you can, and in your case should, use a reference group. Then you can also use the geometry distance. Berk > Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:08:43 +0100 > Fr
