GROMOS force fields are parametrized assuming all bonds are fixed, so
your constraints should be "all-bonds" not "h-bonds."


Interesting, hopefully that is the problem.

By constraining all the bonds  "constraints = all-bonds", the simulation
crashes in the first step immediately irrespective to the starting point of
simulation, even if I continue the old working simulation.


Now we're getting somewhere. That suggests that at least one bond has 
deviated substantially from its equilibrium length, such that the 
constraint algorithm fails immediately. This also likely underlies the 
original failure - forces are building up on some atoms such that mdrun 
crashes.


You have either a bad geometry, inadequate topology, or both. Inspect 
the molecule(s) that mdrun complains about to see if the molecules are 
distorted by computing bond lengths and comparing against the force 
field's parameters.


It may be beneficial to re-minimize and equilibrate with the proper 
constraint scheme after validating that the topology is of sufficient 
quality.

As the ATB folks claim, the parameterization has been performed against a
very high level DFT calculation, especially for the molecules with less

I already have tested the density and it is in agreement with the
experimental value.

Regarding the "comm-grps = " , would you also please kindly let me know

I saw the conversation with David about this. I have nothing to add that

Fatal error:

y.

This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated.

So, if the system would not be well equlibrated, then I would expect

that

with dt = 0.001 the simulation wouldn't run well for 200 ns. But I

expect

that it also crashes for example around 6 ns as the with the dt = 0.002

the

simulation last only 3 ns.

Any comment that helps to understand the problem would be highly
appreciated.

Please provide a description of what your system is and a full .mdp
file. While most of the time these crashes come from poor equilibration,
an inadequately parametrized topology or bad combination/misuse of
algorithms can also cause crashes.

Thanks Justin for the response.
Please find below the mdp file.
The system is a thin film made out of a epoxy molecule, picture in be below
link, with water on top and bottom of the film. I even sometimes have
the same issue when I simulate the bulk of this system, I mean a cubic box
filled by this molecule and no water.
I got the force fields from the latest version of ATB repository by which I

[gmx-users] dt in mdp

2020-04-07 Thread Alex
Dear all,
After minimization and equalizations using nvt (v-rescale) and npt (both
berendsen and ;Parrinello-Rahman), a simulation of mine could run well for
200 ns using dt =0.001 while it would crash after 3 ns If I used dt = 0.002
with the particles communication fatal error.

Fatal error:
2 particles communicated to PME rank 12 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off
out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension y.
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated.

So, if the system would not be well equlibrated, then I would expect that
with dt = 0.001 the simulation wouldn't run well for 200 ns. But I expect
that it also crashes for example around 6 ns as the with the dt = 0.002 the
simulation last only 3 ns.

Any comment that helps to understand the problem would be highly
appreciated.
Regards,
Alex
