I remembered noticing that the value for GMAX was too small this weekend, but I forgot to adjust it accordingly. I'll try to re-run the calculations with the inputs in the regtest-water directory to see if I get better results! Maybe one more question if that's okay for you. I'm also running / getting ready to run AIMD simulations and these are quite heavy so it takes a long time to simulate even a couple of ps. If I see a drift in the constant of motion like in the pictures above, is there a way of knowing if this is due to an error in the input or just because the system has not equilibrated yet? Or is this just a matter of simulating for longer and longer times to see if it goes towards an equilibrium or keeps drifting? Perhaps the "Energy drift per atom [K]" in the output can be of some help, but I'm not certain how it's calculated or how I can use it to check my trajectory...<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks for all the help!<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Kind regards,<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Léon<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On Monday 22 January 2024 at 14:29:09 UTC+1 Krack Matthias wrote:<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:5.0pt"> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">The GMAX parameter for Ewald is a bit sloppy in these inputs.

The NVT and NPT trajectories both had strong oscillations and significant drift of the constant of motion (see below) and I was wondering if this is normal behaviour or that this means that the system is not yet equilibrated? I would think that the Cons. Qty. should remain constant but I can also understand that the thermostat and barostat might influence its behaviour in a way.<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt">NVE:<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt"><img border="0" width="605" height="432" style="width:6.302in;min-height:4.5in" src="https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k/attach/720b7b929b503/NVE.png?part=0.1&view=1"></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt">NVT:<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt"><img border="0" width="613" height="432" style="width:6.3854in;min-height:4.5in" src="https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k/attach/720b7b929b503/NVT.png?part=0.4&view=1"></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt">NPT:<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt"><img border="0" width="613" height="432" style="width:6.3854in;min-height:4.5in" src="https://groups.google.com/group/cp2k/attach/720b7b929b503/NPT.png?part=0.3&view=1"></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt">The simulations of the water box were small test cases, but I also need to know what behaviour to expect when going to my production runs with my systems of interest...<u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt"> <u></u><u></u></span></p> </div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:108.0pt"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt">Additionally, in the NPT ensemble, the pressure seems to fluctuate very strongly from -20000 to +20000 bar which seems to be quite excessive to me.
