Dear users,

When I'm trying to create my solve box of 12x12x12 nm I encounter some trouble. 
I'm using Gromacs 4.5 with the MARTINI force field to set up a system of 400 
dipeptide molecules in water. However when I use "genbox -cp <coarse grained 
dipeptidebox> -cs <MARTINI example water box> -vdwd 0.2 -o <output>" I get an 
inhomogeneous distribution of the water beads: there is what looks like a cubic 
higher density water box in the middle ~9 nm of the output. When I then try to 
run a energy minimization with mdrun the simulation crashes quickly with

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 100.
Potential Energy  =  7.8217890e+17
Maximum force     =            inf on atom 6750
Norm of force     =            inf

I've tried different vdwd's, using define = -DPOSRES, but I can't get round it. 
Using smaller 9x9x9 boxes with 150 dipeptides and further nothing different 
does work very satisfactory, but to study the assembled structure I would like 
to increase the size of the entire system.

Can anyone explain why this happens or suggest any solutions? Thanks very much,
