/ />/ 
/>/ />/ Range checking error:
/>/ />/ Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid
/>/ />/ based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter
/>/ />/ errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some
/>/ />/ coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot
/>/ />/ put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors.
/>/ />/ Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
/>/ />/ energy seems reasonable before trying again.
/>/ /Please follow the advice in the above two sentences. Check your structure.
/>/ 
/>/ I did the energy minimization by increasing the number of steps using steepest descent, nothing happened. Then I tried cg using -DFLEXIBLE
/>/ and steep using -DFLEXIBLE in my mdp file and I was able to compute using mdrun but I got the following in my log file
/>/ 
/>/ Initiating Steepest Descents

Hi David

I did turn off the constraints and also made the starting structure 
unconstarined in the mdp file. The mdrun for position restrained gives 
Segmentation fault and the log file is shown below.
Could you please suggest what could I do. I attached a pdb file in the 
earlier mail which has to be reviewed by the moderator of gmx list.

Thanks
Gaurav
