[gmx-users] gmx-users] Atoms Exploded

[Albert Sun]

Dear Users,
When I simulated a simple 9 atoms system, simulation (mdrun) was completed,  but the .trr  picture show that atoms disappeared suddenly and can not see anything from  the first frame.
 
Appreciate if you could advise me how to modify (.mdp or .top or other files) so that I can  see the picture from the first frame?
 
Thanks!
 
Albert

Hi, David and users,
My simple case study has not shown good results, the 9atom always exploded, even though I tried many times to adjuster various parameters.
  
Greatly appreciate if you could help me to have a look on these files and find out where is the problem?  the following comments are used: 

grompp -v -f em.mdp -c 9atom.gro -o em.tpr -p 9atom.top


mdrun -v -s em -o em -c afterem

grompp -f 9atom.mdp -o s1 -c afterem.gro -p 9atom.top -n atom.ndx

mdrun -s s1.tpr -o s1.trr -c s1.gro -pi pull.ppa -pn atom.ndx

(I attached three files here, three more files are attached in another mail)
 
Thanks!
 
Albert

Anything, charged atoms with no van der waals or something like that.
Something in your topology. If you give all atoms zero charge and a
reasonable vanderwaals params it will work fine.
