Hi Dave and Bill, thanks for the responses. Much appreciated.
This for a periodic system but for troubleshooting GIST calculations which
calculates electrostatics explicitly for the entire system (minimum image
convention but no longer range contributions) so I wanted to run MD (on a
neutral system) with electrostatics calculated explicitly over all minimum
image pairs but with no long-range corrections for which this would be
exact.
Since erfc(\alpha r) is not equal to one, the short range part for PME is
not identical to this (within the cutoff).
I'll check the manual on eedmeth=4 and source dive for specifics.
Thanks again,
Tom
