Hello all,

I am getting the error below at the very beginning of the simulation (both serial and parallel). I am sure I did not encounter this problem before with the same input files. This has just happened now. I really have no clue why this is happening. could you please help me? Thank you all in advance.


Warning: Only triclinic boxes with the first vector parallel to the x-axis and the second vector in the xy-plane are supported.
         Box (3x3):
            Box[    0]={         nan,  0.00000e+00,  0.00000e+00}
            Box[    1]={         nan,          nan,          nan}
            Box[    2]={         nan,          nan,          nan}
         Can not fix pbc.


Your system is probably blowing up. "Nan" means "not a number," so the box vectors have become either infinitely large or small. Either the input coordinate file contained a malformed or non-existent box, or the simulation is collapsing along the way somewhere. Does the simulation run for a while before printing this, or is it right away?

You can check the starting box vectors in the .tpr file with gmxdump to verify that they are sensible.
