Thanks. That solves the problem. But I still see this warning message:
Steepest Descents did not converge to Fmax 10 in 201 steps.
Potential Energy = -1.2866480e+05
Maximum force = 3.4851584e+03 on atom 3683
Norm of force = 6.3128883e+01
That means I should run longer energy minimization until it converges
well and I don't see this error message. Is that right?
Maybe. Are you still specifying nsteps = 2000 as in your original message? If
so, your machine has converged after 201 steps and you cannot necessarily force
it to go longer. You can change emtol and emstep, but you may or may not get a
substantially different result in the end. Also realize that Fmax 10 is not
often achieved in protein systems; Fmax 1000 or 100 is more common.
What you need to be looking at is what is causing the large force. Look at the
structure. What is atom 3683? Is it positioned too close to something else?
Is there a geometric problem?
For the purposes of the archive, using -d should only be effective in resolving
this issue if the box was set up improperly, leading to spurious forces between
periodic images, if I understand the use of this fix correctly. Was this the
case in your system?

Thanks.

hi,
Defining a specific box size with -d option in editconf will help to
overcome this problem...

hi all
I am running Gromacs on a protein consisted of three chains. But
no matter how I tried, the protein always falls into three parts
(corresponding to each chain) after a simple 2000 steps energy
minimization. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.
