check your custom topology (this is where the error is 99% of the time), use qm minimized starting structures, make sure your structure matches your topology (atom names,numbers,ordering, etc.), test single molecules in vacuum first and/or reduce the step size of your SD minimizer.

If you are really sure about the topology, the problem is the initial
structure. Try to use PackMol to build it.

I tried today to run minimization in vacuum for my small molecules. This has
the same error.

Have you run the energy minimization (or further simulation to optimize
the structure and test the FF) on the small molecule before you added it
into water?

Dear gromacs users,

I am trying to run simulations for small molecules in water. Topology

I created by my self for charm ff. When I am trying to start energy
minimization I got an error:


  Steepest Descents:

Tolerance (Fmax) = 1.00000e+00

Number of steps = 1000


That's means my system is exploding. Please can you advice me on this,

what

I need to check.

best,
