Dear Justin,
                 i am trying to insert a peptide in trans-bialyer orientation 
into a pre-equilibrated POPC bilayer using  inflategro script. After 13 steps 
of compression, the area per lipid is 2.61956768363491 nm^2, whereas the 
desired area per lipid is 0.658 nm^2. But when i try to energy minimize the 
compressed structure after 13th steps of compression, the energy did not 
converged and give the following errors. During em i use strong position 
restraints on peptide heavy atom using force constants of 100000.

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1000

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 43 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.

---------------
should i continue further compression with this energy minimized structure 
(em_14.gro)??
if not how can i slove this problem.
waiting for ur suggestion.
