When trying to do an npt run, I get the fatal error: The X-size of the box (3.999511) times the triclinic skew factor (1.000000) is smaller than the number of DD cells (4) times the smallest allowed cell size (1.000000). I should mention, I'm brand new to using gromacs so any assistance is greatly appreciated. My nvt run was fine. I used the following mdp file:
