Understanding the fix nve and fix box/relax and energy minimizing

Submitted by lumblab227 on Wed, 05/03/2017 - 06:09

Hello everyone!

After some struggling with the primary tutorial, I am now trying to build up my own model. Currently, I am confused about two points and any relevant discussion with you will be very helping.

(i) fix nve + relax pressure = fix npt? Is it a correct understanding?

(ii) If I want to calm down of the whole particle assembly (e.g. the kinetic energy as low as possible), what kind of things I can do to achieve this while keep it under acceptable computation time?

KInd regards,
