Hi Alan, Thank you for all your efforts. This is getting strange, I tried following your procedure below but is still does not work for me:
step 3500, will finish Fri Dec 4 09:56:51 2009Warning: 1-4 interaction between 6 and 10 at distance 1.454 which is larger than the 1-4 table size 1.000 nm These are ignored for the rest of the simulation This usually means your system is exploding, if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file or with user tables increase the table size kind regards, Servaas > Message: 1 > Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2009 11:23:14 +0000 > From: Alan <alanwil...@gmail.com> > Subject: [gmx-users] Re: amber force field in Gromacs > To: gmx-users@gromacs.org > Message-ID: > <cf58c8d00912030323v97c0556oa6aa1942c4625...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Dear Servaas, > > Tested again in 'vacuum' and I saw no problems.
