[gmx-users] my big problem

[Tsjerk Wassenaar]

Hi Ozge, Mark,

Mark is of course completely right regarding the MPI error.., you're
messing up something. Where was my mind? Sharp peaks in the RMSD and
radius of gyration plots may indicate jumps over the periodic
boundaries. But, that should not be a cause for breaking a simulation.
The only parameter you mentioned that could be linked to the stability
of the simulation is the nstcomm, the others only control output.

Of course you should try to understand what made your simulation
crash, in stead of treating symptoms, possibly covering up some flaw
in the set up of the simulation. Check the .log file.
