my box dimensions are 368A

Quoting chris.ne...@utoronto.ca:

What are your initial box dimensions prior to em? Also, please copy and paste your .mdp options. Also, what happens when you run the same post-em simulation with nsteps=1 ?

-- original message --


Dear all,
I'm trying to run simulation of 30 proteins in water using the Martini
force field. I used water.gro file in order to solvate the proteins.
For minimization I used the em.mdp file published at Martini site
(http://md.chem.rug.nl/cgmartini/index.php/home). When I set the emtol
parameter to 10 the system can't converge. So I used emtol 100 and
then the system converged. I use it as an input for the simulation.
The file can't be attached as it is too big nut I can send it if needed.
However, the sumulation crushes when I'm trying to run MD using md.mdp
also from the Martini site. I'm getting the following warnings and
errors:

When I looked at the pdb file attached I see something strange that is
happening at the edges of the box.
I can't understand what is the problem. Can someone help me with it?
Thank you in advance.
