[gmx-users] Re: local pressure v4.5 issues

[Jianguo Li]

I downloaded v4.5 and v4.0 from the same websites as you mentioned in previous 
email. I am not sure why v4.5 give inconsistent results. I haven't try v4.0, 
because my simulation is using CHARMM FF. Could you give more details of 
conversion tpr files from v4.5 to v4.0 using CHARMM FF?
Thank you very much!

Cheers,
Jianguo

In v4.5 it outputs the profile for frames in separate files which is ok. My 
concern is what exactly is going in v 4.0 where there is only one file for all 
the frames.

Also where did you download v4.5 and v4.0 from ?
 
Btw, did you use CHARMM FF in your simulations and how did you convert the tpr 
files from v 4.5 to v 4.0?

Yes i have used CHARMM FF and i will have to figure out the conversion.
