[gmx-users] Segmentation Fault (Address not mapped)

Hi Justin,
I am using the ffoplsaabon.itp parameters for:
bonds (CA-CA, CA-CT, CA-HA, CT-HC, H-N3)
angles (CA-CA-CA, CA-CA-HA, CA-CT-HC, H-N3-H)
dihedrals (X-CA-CA-X, X-CA-CT-X)

I am using the ffolpsaanb.itp VdW parameters for H & N3

And I am using the VdW parameters found in the paper "A Second
Generation Force Field for the Simulation of Proteins, Nucleic Acids,
and Organic Molecules" for CA, HA, CT, & HC doing the conversion from
Angstroms (paper units) to nm (ffoplsaanb.itp units) for sigma and from
kcal/mol (paper units) to kJ/mol (ffoplsaanb.itp units) for epsilon. The
converted parameters for sigma were different by only +/-2% to +/-8%
from the values in ffoplsaanb.itp, but the converted parameters for
epsilon were different by +/-23% to +/-66% from the values in
ffoplsaanb.itp. Is this a valid paper to use for selection of parameters?

The graphene lattice is only vibrating slightly and looks like a bunch of
travelling waves.

I believe I am using proper dihedrals and not improper dihedrals in my
model.

Since the graphene structure will be connected to electrodes at both ends
and will be mounted above a substrate, I assume the atoms in the
structure are not completely free and thus I need to model them being
restricted in their movement. Maybe position restraints are more
appropriate than freezing to model such a situation.

I do not see anything in the trajectory that provides clues as to what
might be causing the segmentation fault.

Thanks again for your help.

Darrell
