[gmx-users] Bilayer explosion!

[David van der Spoel]

Could it be that you have problems with too tight pressure coupling? If
your time constants are too small (especially with anisotropic coupling)
the algorithm may become unstable, start oscillatin and finally explode.
For membrane systems you should use anisotropic coupling, but the time
constants should be at least 5 ps since you don't have the averaging
effect as in isotropic coupling. Also check your compressibility, which
should be roughly 5e-5


Groeten, David.
