Hi Mark and Justin,

I am using a box of size (20nm)x(20nm)x(60nm)..system is open along z ie
(60nm) side.

I tried using only two nodes, it gives the same error

There is no domain decomposition for 2 nodes that is compatible with the
given box and a minimum cell size of 0.889862 nm
Change the number of nodes or mdrun option -rdd or -dds
Look in the log file for details on the domain decomposition
