Hi,<br><br>For pure water (no ions, no external electric field), reaction field does fine even with a short cut-off, e.g. 0.9 nm<br>(use reaction-field-zero if you need good energy conservation).<br>In case you have long-range fields, use no-cutoff at all (all cut-off to 0 in the mdp file)<br>when you system is not too big.<br>You can also embed your system in a large box, something like 3 times larger in all dimensions<br>than your original system and use PME.<br><br>Berk<br><br><br>> From: vvchaban@gmail.com<br>> Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2010 13:03:31 -0400<br>> To: gmx-users@gromacs.org<br>> Subject: [gmx-users] electrostatics with non-periodic system<br>> <br>> Hi all,<br>> <br>> Could anybody please suggest "a good method" for electrostatics for<br>> non-periodic system simulation -> PBC=no ?
