The problem is not whether or not your commands work for other systems, rather the fact that they are (for some reason) not working for this particular system. Most standard commands work just fine. The reason I asked originally was to see exactly what your commands were to check if you were using the right files instead of accidentally repeating the commands on the coordinate file with the improper box vectors.

That is also (I suspect) the reason Dallas asked for you to copy and paste all your commands.

We can't get inside your head to see what you're doing, so if you want free help, you need to provide the information we ask for so we can quickly resolve this. If grompp is still complaining about box vectors, you're either using the wrong coordinate file, or you've somehow managed to mangle the coordinate file format. Without seeing your actual commands and any other relevant details, the best anyone can offer is "you're doing something wrong."

It did not contain the same number of molecules after genion when I changed the box size. The pressure coupling was not on, and I did not reach this steps. The problem I had just the steps I did the energy minimization after ions (NA+ and CL-) added.
Thanks and regards,

Please copy and paste in the commands you are using, and the output.

I suspect you have made your box bigger, but it still contains the same
number of molecules and you still have pressure coupling on. So when you
start the simulation, not surprising that the box compresses again and
goes under 2nm again.

 Hi,

First time I meet this problem,
ERROR: One of the box lengths is smaller than twice the cut-off
length.
Increase the box size or decrease rlist.
I just followed the advice increase the box size, I tried twice in
the
editconf about the box size, actually this box is really large
enough
for the testing consideration, but still has the same problem.

Well, what are your box vectors?  If they are < 2 nm, you will get
this error
because of the minimum image convention.

    system size :  4.581  2.380  2.715 (nm)
    diameter    :  4.889               (nm)
    center      : -0.012  0.003 -0.904 (nm)
    box vectors :  0.000  0.000  0.000 (nm)
    box angles  :   0.00   0.00   0.00 (degrees)
    box volume  :   0.00               (nm^3)
    shift       :  9.678  9.664  5.461 (nm)
new center      :  9.667  9.667  4.557 (nm)
new box vectors : 12.889 12.889 12.889 (nm)
new box angles  :  60.00  60.00  90.00 (degrees)
new box volume  :1514.05               (nm^3)

This one I set was really large, but still showed that problems.

What problems?  The same error about the box lengths being shorter
than
twice
the cutoff?  I don't think that's possible, given those vectors, if
you're
keeping your cutoffs at 1.0 nm.

-Justin

I do keep the cut-off. That's I do not know why. Four times had been
tried.

Thanks,

lina
