[lammps-users] Fix nvt slowly heating

Hi everyone,

I am running a coarse-grained system where I have 20 molecules and I want to heat the system slowly up to 200 K for 10 K. In the middle of my simulation, 1 of the molecules moves really fast and the others just vibrates. They almost like frozen. The script is below. Is there something wrong with my script.

Hi everyone,

In the middle of my simulation, 1 of the molecules moves really fast and the others just vibrates. They almost like frozen. The script is below. Is there something wrong with my script.

is this behavior specific for the gradual heating process?

does this system run well at (any?) constant temperature.

cheers,
