Thanks for your prompt reply. I am sorry, there is some confusion because I
am trying to solve this problem many days ago.
My namelists for heating phase and Density equilibration phase are:
#Heating up the system
#First stage of equilibration
&cntrl
imin = 0, irest = 0, ntb = 1, ntx = 1, cut = 10, ntr = 0, ntc = 2, ntf =
2, tempi= 0.0, temp0 = 298.0, ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 1.0, ntp = 0,
nstlim = 10000, dt = 0.002, ntpr = 1000, ntwr = 1000, ntwx = 1000,
/
Keep solute fixed with weak restraint
500.0
RES 1-489
END
END
second stage
#Equilibration of whole system stage 2
&cntrl
imin = 0, ntx = 5, irest = 1, nstlim = 250000, temp0 = 298.0, tempi =
298.0, ntc = 2, ntf = 2, ntt = 3, dt = 0.002,
ntb = 2, ntp = 1, tautp = 1.0, taup = 1.0, ntwx = 1000, ntwr = 1000, ntpr =
1000, cut = 12.0, iwrap = 1, ioutfm = 1,
/
The initial density was 0.2667 while the final density is 0.2838. I do not
have any comment on these too low densities.
Thank you,
Said
