try to use npt to equilibrate when you add the field, nve will not take you very far check the units of the field applied. use scale 7 regauss 11 use dl_poly_4 consider using variable timestep 0.001 rather than simple timestep Regards, Alin Without Questions there are no Answers! ________________________________________ Dr. Alin Marin ELENA MInstP Daresbury Laboratory, STFC Sci-Tech, Keckwick Lane Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire UK, WA4 4AD https://www.scd.stfc.ac.uk/Pages/Alin-Elena.aspx +44 (0) 1925 60 3080 ________________________________________ ________________________________________ From: DL_POLY Mailing List <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Sheikh Ferdous <[log in to unmask]> Sent: 27 June 2018 17:54:37 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [DLPOLY] Potential like voltage application Hi, I tried to use extern command to induce external electric field.
