[gmx-users] Calculating Temperature from Velocity

2008-09-22 Thread Andy Shelley
I am trying to calculate the temperature from the final velocity posted in the confout.gro file after a simulation runs. I have implemented a berendsen thermostat to control the temperature to 300K and ran it for 1ns. Looking at g_energy the final temperature of the system is 299.981. Statistics ov

Garry, I believe you are trying to not temperature couple the 4 zincs. To do this put the 4 zincs in one group and include that group in the listing of tc_grps and then correspondingly assign tau_t. tau_t=0 means no temperature coupling, but I think you will also need to give a temperature for the
