[gmx-users] How to select Force field

Hey :)

What did grompp say (and why -maxwarn 3)? And what did the previous
steps give? Did you check the convergence of the potential energy
during energy minimization? Was there anything odd running pdb2gmx?
Oh, and why would you waste resources using a cubic box?
