Hello,
I am confused by the outputted PRESSURE, GPRESSURE, PRESSAVG, and
GPRESSAVG values.
- What is the actual pressure of my system?
- Is there an issue with my MD because PRESSURE is far away from GPRESSURE,
PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG values?
According to the user guide, it is:"PRESSURE is the pressure calculated
based on individual atoms, while GPRESSURE incorporates hydrogen atoms into
the heavier atoms to which they are bonded, producing smaller fluctuations.
The TEMPAVG, PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG are the average of temperature and
pressure values since the previous ENERGY output"
To my understanding, PRESSURE, GPRESSURE, PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG should
fluctuate around the same mean value.
However, for my NPT simulation (using langevin barostat set to 1 bar),
PRESSURE is far away from GPRESSURE, PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG. PRESSURE
fluctuates around -19500, whereas GPRESSURE, PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG
fluctuate around 0. This simulation used rigidbonds for TIP3P water only
with the settle algorithm.
In a second simulation with equal parameters but without rigidbonds
(rigidbonds none), PRESSURE fluctuates around -2500, whereas GPRESSURE,
PRESSAVG, and GPRESSAVG again fluctuates around 0.
Thanks for your help
Dennis
Below, you will find:
- My configuration file
- Sample output for both runs
Here is my configuration file. The only difference between my two runs is
the parameter rigidbonds which is "water" or "none"
