Hello !!!!
I have a NPT .conf, taken from NAMD tutorials. I wanted to begin my
simulation increasing temperature slowly from 100 K to 310 K , and
then mantain temperature. So I modify Jerome's script
# Minimization
minimize 100
reinitvels $temperature
run 500
for { set TEMP 105 } { $TEMP < 310 } { incr TEMP 5 } {
langevinTemp $TEMP
langevinPistonTemp $TEMP
run 500
}
langevinTemp 310
langevinPistonTemp 310
## Equilibrium at 310K
run 250000
I put langevinPistonTemp inside the for loop because I am using
constant presure. The first 500 steps above the loop ran well,
nevertheles inside the loop the following error message appear in the
output:

FATAL ERROR: Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!
Possible solutions are to restart from a recent checkpoint,
increase margin, or disable useFlexibleCell for liquid simulation.
------------- Processor 0 Exiting: Called CmiAbort ------------
Reason: FATAL ERROR: Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!
Possible solutions are to restart from a recent checkpoint,
increase margin, or disable useFlexibleCell for liquid simulation.
As in the .conf i attached is stated, useFlexibleCell is disabled. I
tested using a NVT dynamics (the same script with useGroupPressure=no
and langevinPiston=off) and it works, so the problem must come from
using langevinPiston=on. Does someone know how to do a Simulated
annealing with NPT????
Thanks
