Hello Ricardo,
I tried to decrease the integration time but I got the same error.
The system is running fine in my local core.
I have two questions:
1) What do you mean by "I balance the domain decomposition for the
larger number of core"?
2) Are you running simulations at Bluegene P at Rice University?
Thank you,
Cíntia

Hello,
before submitting to Bluegene, I always test the system in my local 8 core
cpu, and if it works, it will also work in Bluegene, as long as I balance the
domain decomposition for the larger number of cores. If your system insists in
exploding, even after energy minimization, you could try to decrease the
integration timestep (dt) to something lower than 2 fs, maybe to 1fs or, in
some cases even 0.5 fs. Did you tried that?
Cheers,
Ricardo.

Mark,
Thank you for your answer.
I did an energy minimization with the file em.mdp (below) and then I
did a 40 ns simulation with the same md.mdp I send before. These
two steps were done in my local cluster. After that I took the
configuration for the simulation in the bluegene and I got these
error. I notice that the step that the error occurs depends on the
number of nodes I use. I am also including the end of the min.out file.
I also tried others integrators for the energy minimization but I
always get the same error.
Thank you again,
Cíntia

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 10
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)
writing lowest energy coordinates.
Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 5199 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
