According to the documentation:
If any of the grid sizes below are not set, then PMEGridSpacing must
be set (recommended value is 1.0 Å) and will be used to calculate
them.
So, by using PMEGridSpacing NAMD will probably try to calculate optimal
PMEGridSizeX,Y,Z, probably also taking into account the fact that they
should have only small integer factors (2, 3 and 5), I imagine. One should
look at the code to be sure, though. On the other hand, by specifying
PMEGridSizeX,Y,Z the user will have more control.
Have you tried specifying PMEGridSpacing and looking at the NAMD log to
see what PMEGridSizeX,Y,Z were calculated?
Hope this helped.
