[gmx-users] MD => system exploding

[Chih-Ying Lin]

HI
When I run MD, my system is exploding.
And, I found after minimisation, the atoms of my molecule are seperated apart.

The overall charge of my system is +1,  and I put one molecule in the
gas phase to do the structure test. But, it was already exploding.


Is it hard for a +1 charge molecule to maintain a good shape under MD
simulation?
What are the procedures to test and determine the mistakes I made?


Thank you
Lin




Back Off! I just backed up md.log to ./#md.log.1#

This usually means your system is exploding,
if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file

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.

Variable ci has value -2147483648. It should have been within [ 0 .. 5832 ]
