Dear staff:
When I do the energy minimization of my system contain a protein, an ATP and water molecules using mdrun, it stopped at 15 steps, and return following messeges:


Steepest Descents:
   Tolerance (Fmax)   =  1.00000e+00
   Number of steps    =         2000
Step=    0, Dmax= 1.0e-02 nm, Epot= -3.24259e+05 Fmax= 3.22275e+04, atom= 1264
Step=   14, Dmax= 1.2e-06 nm, Epot=          nan Fmax= 2.96890e+04, atom= 1262
Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1.
Potential Energy  = -3.2425944e+05
Maximum force     =  3.2227543e+04 on atom 1264
Norm of force     =            nan


what's wrong with it?
p.s. My .mdp file is:

integrator   =   steep ;minimization method
emtol   =   1.0   ; stop minimization when max force < 1.0 KJ/mol
nsteps   =   2000 ; max step number
nstenergy   =   10 ;n step to write energy
nstxtcout   =   10 ;n step to write coordinates file

nstlist   =   1 ;the step to update the neighbour step list
ns_type   =   simple; the method to det ermine neighbour list
rlist   =   1.0 ;cutoff for make neighbour list
coulombtype    =   cutoff ;cutoff for electrostatic force distance
rcoulomb   =   1.0 ;long range cutoff for elect.
rvdw   =   1.0 ; long range cutoff for vdw
constraints   =   none ;no constraint
pbc   =   no ; no periode boundary conditions

Best wishes!
