much for any suggestion about appropriate time step value !


The first step I would take is to keep halving the time step until the system is stable, then increase to the desired value after you've achieved a stable system.

I will try smaller time step. And i hope it work :-)

Well, 20-30 fs is fine with Martini. But you may have to take care
initially, and start with a smaller time step.

equi.mdp file is

Does a smaller time step work?  I know the whole point of a MARTINI
simulation is to use a 20-40 fs time step, but in my (very very limited)
experience, nothing over 20 fs is consistently stable.  Perhaps others
with
better experience can offer pointers.

But after being minimized 50000 steps and equilibrated 90 ns, there
are
some bonds in the system that rotate more than 30 degrees.
I applied tips for blew up system as you advised. But the system does
not
achieve balance.
Should i carry out more many steps for minimization ? or minimize
many
times ? to get more equilibrated system.


  I would say that 50000 steps of minimization is far more than is
normally
necessary.  What Fmax do you achieve at the end of EM?  What is in the
system? What is in your .mdp file?  Systems can randomly crash if the
model
physics breaks due to incorrect .mdp settings or an unstable topology.

   Hi KT,


This is caused by another problem. Your system blew up. Check
messages
before this one, and check the log for LINCS warnings.

I searched on Gromacs-errors web, but i did not see this error.
How can i fix it ?

Thanks and regards,
