​I suppose I should provide a bit more information:

 

The last line of output prior to meeting any errors is:

 

USING GEOMETRIC MEAN TO COMBINE L-J SIGMA PARAMETERS

 

(note that it said arithmetic mean b​efore invoking vdwGeometricSigma).

 

Following this there are a series of lines with "ERROR" before proceeding and attempting a single simulation step with energies outputting a maximum value.

 

Well, what does these ERRORs contain ??

Did you minimize the system? What you observer most likely is just a bad starting structure having to high potential energy (superimposed atoms).

 

I hope this is clear.

Hello NAMD community,

 

I'm attempting to run simulations using GROMACS topology and coordinate inputs. The coordinate input reads properly but I'm generating errors when reading in the Lennard-Jones parameters and the simulation crashes with atoms moving at very high velocities. Considering that GROMACS generally performs the geometric mean (unlike NAMD's arithmetic mean) to calculate molecular parameters, I tried applying the vdwGeometricSigma but it's not making a difference. I was also concerned that the units were incompatible so I modified the input for values in terms of angstroms but that also didn't seem to make a difference. Might there be anyone who knows how NAMD reads in GROMACS inputs and may provide more information than can be found on the NAMD website? Thanks in advance!

 

Best Regards,

Mike
