Hello,
I am attempting to increase the density using NPT. As I increase the
pressure to compress the system after some steps simulation crashes. I
thought maybe its becasue I am compressing too fast but even when I take
a stepwise approach to compress gradually the same error comes up. The
density at the point of crash is about 30 SI while I need 650 which is
the actual density. Topology file is generated successfully and also I
did EM before MD.
Initial box size is 30 nm. As suggested in the link below I reduced the
size to 20 nm (there are 2500 atoms in the system ) but the same error
appears.

I also tried less -np from 7 to 4 but no success.
Can you please tell me what this exclamation mark mean which I get at
times in parallel trials.(vol 0.99 !)
Domain decomposition relies on dividing your system up into reliably-sized
domains in order to communicate force, coordinate, energy, etc. information. If
something happens to skew or annihilate these domains, the algorithm crashes.
The exclamation marks indicate (in a general sense) that the DD algorithm has
detected something dangerously wrong.
If you're trying to make drastic changes to the size or dimensions of your
system, DD is a bad choice and you'll likely have to use particle decomposition
(mdrun -pd).

You're setting yourself up for inaccurate PME calculations with this. Use 0.1 -
0.12 unless you've got some compelling reason to decrease your accuracy.
