RE: [AMBER] solvent MD - poor equilibration

Hi Senthil,

This doesn't look very converged to me. There is a distinct curve in your
density, pressure and volume plots. Plus if you have formed vacuum bubbles
they can take a long time to equilibrate out. I would suggest running a
nanosecond or so of NTP (with taup=1.0) and then see what things look like.

Remember you are plotting average density, not local density so this won't
necessarily tell you that the bubbles have gone away.

All the best
Ross
