For wastewater treatment applications, the membrane separation process must be subjected to external pressure. Which file (PDB, PSF, MINIMISATION, HEATING, EQUILIBRIATION, PRODUCTION) should I modify?

Pressure Control Setup: You need to set up pressure control in your NAMD configuration file. This is usually done in the EQUILIBRATION and PRODUCTION phases of your simulation. Configuration File Modifications: EQUILIBRATION: Modify the equilibration configuration file to include pressure control parameters. You can use the Berendsen or Nosé-Hoover Langevin piston methods for pressure control. PRODUCTION: Similarly, ensure that the production configuration file includes the pressure control settings. Example Configuration: plaintext # Pressure control useGroupPressure yes useFlexibleCell yes useConstantArea no langevinPiston on langevinPistonTarget 1.01325 ;# Target pressure in bar langevinPistonPeriod 100.0 langevinPistonDecay 50.0 langevinPistonTemp 300.0 Files to Modify: EQUILIBRATION: Add the pressure control parameters to your equilibration configuration file. PRODUCTION: Ensure the same parameters are included in your production configuration file. PDB and PSF Files: These files define the structure and topology of your system and generally do not need to be modified for pressure control. However, ensure they are correctly set up before running the simulation. MINIMIZATION and HEATING: These steps are usually performed under constant volume conditions, so pressure control is not typically applied here.
you can deploy Copilot To apply external pressure in a NAMD simulation for the membrane separation process, you typically need to modify the configuration files related to the simulation setup. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
Educational Tips:
- Understanding Pressure Control: Pressure control in molecular dynamics simulations helps mimic real-world conditions where external pressure influences the system.
- Configuration Parameters: Familiarize yourself with the parameters used for pressure control, such as langevinPistonTarget, which sets the target pressure.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the NAMD User's Guide.
Good luck
