Hi,

Restating that I was trying to scale the Protein Solvent interactions, I
added a new section to the ffnonbonded.itp file. This is what the section
looks like

[ nonbond_params ]

... and so on

The C6 and C12 values were generated by using the sigma and epsilon values
in the atomtypes section and then using Berthelot rules to get the sigma and
epsilon for the interaction followed by conversion to C6 and C12.

To test this new file, I started with a scaling factor of 1 but the
simulation does not run after first 20 steps or so as the system explodes
(LINCS warning).
or this error
Fatal error:
1 particles communicated to PME node 0 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off
out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension x.

A simulation without this section runs fine.
Where could I have gone wrong? I have checked the calculations.
