hi

i gave energy minimization for 3000 steps but it runs only 1906 steps. these are the files (em.trr, em.edr, em.log) i got after energy minimization. my energy values are
P.E = -2.6755090e+06
Maximum force = 9.6265039e+02 an atom 5483
Norm of force = 1.263261.9e+01


That looks fine.

         while doing position restrain with these files i got error like

WARNING 1 [file pr.mdp, line unknown]:
  Unknown or double left-hand 'warnings' in parameter file
NOTE 1 [file top.top, line 41]:
  System has non-zero total charge: -3.400000e+01


Well here's a big problem. Your system has a net -34 charge! Life does not exist at net charge. Maybe you should consult some basic tutorial material. The use of genion is explained in all of them...

by using -maxwarn option i ignored the warnings and gone for mdrun it gives error like this


Ignoring warnings is never a good idea. You have some setting "warnings" in the .mdp file that does not exist, so using -maxwarn here is not a major issue, but in general, I would recommend never using -maxwarn unless you absolutely know why you're ignoring a warning. Simply trying to plow ahead with fingers crossed is a great way to encounter failure.

hi justin u told me to check the output configuration. i didn't get this line could u tell me which output i have to check.
i loaded the em.gro file in vmd there is no changes in structure.


Well, certainly energy minimization made some changes if it ran for 1906 steps. Your EM results look fine, I was simply advising you to look for any clashes in your structure that perhaps EM did not resolve.

looking forward for a reply. thanks in advance.

cheers,
