Dear users,<br>
<br>
I wanted to know when DEFINE = -DFLEXIBLE has to be used.<br>
its given in the manual that it has to be used when we require flexible<br>
water instead of rigid waters, so if I am using tip4p water model and<br>
OPLSAA force field, and i use DFLEXIBLE option in EM and not in<br>
position MD, is there anything wrong? Kindly clarify my confusion.<br>
<br>

Flexible water should be only really be used during EM and not MD. All the water models included in Gromacs were designed to be rigid. Using "define = -DFLEXIBLE" helps EM proceed a bit further, but is not appropriate for running MD.<br>
