Hi Everyone,
I am using langevin to make temperature constant and langevinPiston to make
pressure constant in my MD simulation. Some parts of my configuration file:
# Constant Temperature Control
langevin on ;# do langevin dynamics
langevinDamping 1 ;# damping coefficient (gamma) of 1/ps
langevinTemp $temperature
langevinHydrogen off ;# don't couple langevin bath to hydrogens
# Constant Pressure Control (variable volume)
useGroupPressure no ;# needed for rigidBonds
useFlexibleCell no
useConstantArea no
langevinPiston on
langevinPistonTarget 1.01325 ;# in bar -> 1 atm
langevinPistonPeriod 200.0
langevinPistonDecay 200.0
langevinPistonTemp $temperature
During simulation, the pressure is fluctuating which is fine! I calculated
the average pressure over MD simulation, and it is about 13atm which is not
equal to my desire 1atm pressure.
I would be so grateful if anyone could guide me with this matter.
Best Regards,
Faramarz
