Thanks a lot of suggestions. Now my simulation is running without any errors. I have decreased the box dimension (by using -d 1.2 in editconf) and also by using cutoff with rlist=rvdw=rcoulomb=1.0. Now there is no warning or errors in nvt and npt equilibration.
Thank you, with regards, Anu On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 10:32 AM, Emanuel Birru <emanuel.bi...@monash.edu>wrote: > > Correction on #6 > 6. if that doesn't help decrease your time step. > Sorry for the confusion :) > > Cheers, > EB > -----Original Message----- > From: gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org [mailto:gmx-users-boun...@gromacs.org] > On Behalf Of Anu Chandran > Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2013 3:34 PM > To: Discussion list for GROMACS users > Subject: Re: [gmx-users] Re: A note while running grompp for nvt > equilibration > > Sir, > I tried using cutoff for van der Waals interactions.
