[gmx-users] Problem in energy minimization for a empty membrane system

[Bing Bing]

Hi! Thanks a alot for all the suggestions i've got from Justin and Mark.
I found out that i actually deleted the box information from the starting
structure PDB. Once i put it back, It worked. However,
it stopped with this message.

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1000
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Back Off! I just backed up em.trr to ./#em.trr.19#

Back Off! I just backed up em.gro to ./#em.gro.11#

Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 76 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy  = -2.24796600790506e+05
Maximum force     =  1.14539522791599e+03 on atom 6619
Norm of force     =  1.62353061702859e+04

Is it mean that the minimization is done and is already converged?
Here the result for the final Step 75.

 Pressure (bar)
    0.00000e+00

The position restraint is working fine as well....

Thank you so much.
