This message by itself may not indicate a problem, but the message
should disabled when you add the lines

   dyn.breakAllBondsIn("resname LIG")

or

   dyn.group("resname LIG")

where dyn is each IVM object.

> As such, the testosterone is not in a proper aliphatic ring anymore.

Are you saying that the covalent geometry of the ligand is incorrect?
This would indicate that the associated PSF is incomplete - missing
bonds, angles or impropers. How was this PSF created? If you wish to
treat the ligand as a rigid body, then the group option above must be
chosen, and resname LIG must be excluded in the selection when calling
fixupCovalentGeom.

I hope my response is on the right track.

best regards--
Charles
