Hi Sunny,

The problem here is not the water. You have some serious problems with
your starting structure (which I already suspected from your previous
mails). It looks like your system has been very busy exploding, but
you never noticed because of the l-bfgs algorithm (controlled
explosion). Notice that at step -2 (!!!) all your constraints are out
of bounds(except for those involving the solvent which you've added).
In other words, all constraints were out of bounds after energy
minimization. Probably your best chance is to start anew. Don't forget
to visually inspect your system after every step and check for
overlaps.

By the way, how did you put the protein in the bilayer? Did you
perform an energy minimization on the protein before that?

Hi,

I have a structure with 1 protein (118 atoms), 256 DPPC lipids (12800
atoms), and 3833 water molecules (11499 atoms). The box size is 6.125, 12.5,
9.5 nm.

Water is add by genbox:    genbox -cp input.pdb -cs spc216.gro -vdwd 0.45 -o
output.pdb

After the water added, I run the l-bfgs energy minimization on it.

Then I run md simulation (integrator=md, dt=0.002). The md simulation fails
with a Segmentatin fault and the following message in md.log:
