As I explained here before, I get an error ( some interactions seem to be assigned multiple times). I suspected the top file, so checked it and visualized the output of em.mdp; the output seems to be correct and I don't see any bonds behaves strangely. As I studied in mailing lists it and you also mentioned , this may happen because of the insufficient minimization. I'm wondering how a good and sufficient minimization is provided?
