[lammps-users] Implicit Pair_Style Energy Conservation

Hey All,

I did a 20alanine NVE simulation. When the pair_style was

pair_style lj/charmm/coul/charmm 10 12

the energy was conserved. However when I change that to implicit as:

pair_style lj/charmm/coul/charmm/implicit 10 12

the energy conservation goes bad. Can any one give pointers to what might be the problem?

All my input files attached.

Thanks
Goutham

Don't know. There isn't much difference between the 2 potentials, other
than an extra 1/r term in the Coulombics, which should soften
the interaction.
