I did look at the plot, and it shows that the curve is smoothing right under zero at -1.00e+05 but then why does the average potential show a positive number? Shouldn't that number be negative as well?

Hello,

I am simulating 2M urea in water with single methane (77 urea + 1926
water). I used genbox -ci -nmol to add the number of urea molecules and
then used genbox to add water molecules (as suggested in the manual).
When I tried to do energy minimization this is what I got :

Steepest Descents converged to Fmax < 1000 in 234 steps
Potential Energy = -1.0054066e+05

So I tried g_energy to plot the potential. But I got average Potential
as a positive number 2.84087e+06. I am not sure why the potential is
positive, it probably is because of repulsion but is that correct?

Did you look at the graph? Please do, then you will understand.

I would appreciate some help.

Thanks.
