The error message "Fatal error: Invalid T coupling input: 1 groups, 2 ref-t values and 2 tau-t values" typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the number of temperature coupling groups defined in the simulation input file and the corresponding reference temperature (ref-t) and temperature relaxation time (tau-t) values provided.
To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the number of temperature coupling groups matches the number of reference temperature and temperature relaxation time values specified in your simulation input file. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and correct this issue:
Check your simulation input file:Open your simulation input file (e.g., .mdp file) and locate the temperature coupling section. Verify that the number of temperature coupling groups defined in the "tc-grps" directive corresponds to the number of groups you have in your system.
Verify the reference temperature and relaxation time:Ensure that the number of reference temperature values specified in the "ref-t" directive matches the number of temperature coupling groups. Likewise, check that the number of temperature relaxation time values in the "tau-t" directive matches the number of temperature coupling groups.
Adjust the number of temperature coupling groups:If you have only one temperature coupling group defined in your system, make sure to set the number of temperature coupling groups to 1 and provide a single reference temperature and relaxation time value.
Modify the simulation input file:Update the "tc-grps", "ref-t", and "tau-t" directives in your simulation input file to ensure consistency in the number of temperature coupling groups, reference temperatures, and relaxation times.
Rerun the simulation:Once you have made the necessary adjustments to your simulation input file, save the changes and rerun the simulation using the updated input file.
