Re: problem with water molecules angle in MD simulation

I tried this out on my machine using TIP3P water, the CHARMM-36 forcefield, and NAMD 2.10, and I see the same thing. During energy minimization the water molecules adopt a wide range of angles down to about 95 degrees, but they all snap back to ideality as soon as the equilibrium simulation starts.

Couldn't see anything unsual. Have you already tried recreating the .top file, sometimes there are corruptions which lead to such behavior?

Hi Norman,
The minimization and constant T simulation input files are attached.
The rigid bond option did not work when used in Minimization simulation.
Thank You!
