Just out of curiosity what does -0.1 actually mean?


It means someone made a mistake :) It's not physically sensible. tau-t should be a positive decimal or -1 to turn off coupling for that group. Using -0.1 doesn't make any sense. It's probably the primary reason for failure here.

Dear all,
I am doing an MD simulation of a protein system. Energy minimization step
has been completed smoothly but the position restraint MD run is not
running properly(after 500-900 steps have been stopped automatically).
Even
it has not shown any error or anything. I have used a drug molecule in the
cavity of the active site.
When the box size was 10 X 12 X 25, it was run only 100 steps and with 15
X
15 X 28 box size it was run 500-900 steps. I could not understand what is
the problem. Can anyone please help me?
