Hey All, 

I am running a simulation of a POPC bilayer in water using a Charmm 36
forcefield. I am having trouble using cutoff-scheme=Verlet in my nvt
equilibration. 

My .mdp file is as follows: 

title    = OPLS Lysozyme NVT equilibration 
define   = -DPOSRES     ; position restrain the protein 
; Run parameters 
integrator      = md     ; leap-frog integrator

; Output control 
nstxout  = 0     ; save coordinates every 0.2 ps 
nstvout  = 0     ; save velocities every 0.2 ps 
nstenergy       = 0      ; save energies every 0.2 ps 
nstlog   = 0     ; update log file every 0.2 ps 
; Bond parameters 
continuation    = no     ; first dynamics run 
constraint_algorithm = lincs    ; holonomic constraints 
constraints     = all-bonds     ; all bonds (even heavy atom-H bonds)

lincs_iter      = 1      ; accuracy of LINCS 
lincs_order     = 4      ; also related to accuracy 
; Neighborsearching 
ns_type  = grid  ; search neighboring grid cells 
nstlist  = 5     ; 10 fs 
rlist    = 1.2   ; short-range neighborlist cutoff (in nm) 
rcoulomb        = 1.2    ; short-range electrostatic cutoff (in nm)

tau_t    = 0.1  0.1     ; time constant, in ps 
ref_t    = 300 300      ; reference temperature, one for each group, in K 
; Pressure coupling is off 
pcoupl   = no ; no pressure coupling in NVT 
; Periodic boundary conditions 
pbc      = xyz   ; 3-D PBC 
; Dispersion correction 
DispCorr        = No    ; account for cut-off vdW scheme 
; Method for doing Van der Waals 
vdw-type                 = switch 
; Velocity generation 
gen_vel  = yes   ; assign velocities from Maxwell distribution 
gen_temp        = 300    ; temperature for Maxwell distribution 
gen_seed        = -1     ; generate a random seed 
cutoff-scheme   = Verlet 

*Here is the output when I run grompp to make the .tpr file:*

grompp -f nvt.mdp -c em_POPC.gro -p topol.top -o nvt.tpr 

ERROR 1 [file nvt.mdp]: 
  With Verlet lists only cut-off LJ interactions are supported 


NOTE 1 [file nvt.mdp]: 
  With Verlet lists the optimal nstlist is >= 10, with GPUs >= 20. Note 
  that with the Verlet scheme, nstlist has no effect on the accuracy of 
  your simulation. 


NOTE 2 [file nvt.mdp]: 
  The switch/shift interaction settings are just for compatibility; you 
  will get better performance from applying potential modifiers to your 
  interactions!
