Positive values of potential energy and I am in vacuo.

Your outcome is exactly what you should expect. Energies can be positive, and almost always are when doing work in vacuo. The net negative energy in condensed phase is driven by attractive solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions, of which you have none in the gas phase.

Hello

I have a question about energy minimization tool. I am modelling a polymer and 
I use a force field I have developed. I have run a EM and got positive values. 
Can you help me with this?


Positive values for what?  Are you in vacuo or in solvent?
