The magnitude of the force suggests atomic overlap somewhere. Start by investigating the environment around atom 1520.

and the system looked with vmd doesn't look as if it was exploding. However, I have warnings about the table extension and I don't know why but gromacs writes pdb files sometime. However I thought that there

The "step.pdb" files are written when mdrun is about to crash.

might have been an error in the way I defined the position restraints, in fact in the mdp file I hade define = -DEPOSRE while in the topology I had ifdef DEFINE_WAT, so it might have moved it all without fixing the water. So I tried again and this time I got


The "define" statements are literal, so be careful of typos. -DEPOSRE will not work when the topology calls for -DPOSRES. So unless you've changed default naming for "define" statements, you're not going to get what you expect.

Again, symptomatic of severe atomic overlap.

but again the same issue with table extent and still the production of pdb files.

Any explanations?


Investigate the starting configurations near the problematic atoms.
