I am using the semiisotropic pressure scaling because i want the box size to remain the same as that of the original box size in X and Y axis and want to change it only on the Z axis.

Hi Mark<br>
<br>
I read the link before posting the question. even though the fluctation<br>
is between 500-600 (as said in the link) bar the average pressure is<br>
around 7.4 bar. my concern is the average pressure?. Because at a latter<br>
stage i am going to combine this water box with another organic solvent<br>
and i want to avoid any complications there.<br>

Think again of what you just wrote. Your value is 7 +/- 500. In fact according to normal statistical rules you should round the value of 7 to 0. If you want more accurate number you could increase the box size by a factor of 100.<br>
<br>
By the way, why are you using semiisotropic pressure scaling in a water box?<br>

Hi Gromacians<br>
<br>
I want to do equilibration of water (spc model) first in the NVT<br>
ensemble and then in the NPT ensemble to maintain a temperature<br>
of 300K and a pressure of 1 bar respectively. The NVT<br>
equilibration works fine and the average temperature turns out<br>
to be 299.229 K.<br>
<br>
Energy Average RMSD Fluct.<br>

Temperature 299.229 10.3092 10.2463<br>
0.0393873 3.93877<br>
Heat Capacity Cv: 12.494 J/mol K (factor = 0.00118698)<br>
<br>
when i do NPT equilibration i am not getting the desired<br>
pressure as 1 bar or atleast close to 1 bar (between 1-1.4 bar).<br>
In the mdp file i used semiisotropic pressure coupling type<br>
because i want to fix the length of the box same on two axis as<br>
that of the original box size and want to change it only on one<br>
axis. can any one tell me why iam not getting the desired<br>
pressure of 1 bar?.<br>
<br>
<br>
This looks normal for a smallish water system over 100ps. See<br>
