[gmx-users] ERROR: Number of grid cells is zero

I am trying to do the NPT equilibration of a cyclic peptide in DMSO solvent
BOX using all atom charm force field (ffcharmm27) on GROMACS.  The NVT
equilibration is working but the NPT equilibration shows the following
ERROR.





Back Off! I just backed up results/eq50K.log to results/#eq50K.log.1#

This usually means your system is exploding,

if not, you should increase table-extension in your mdp file

or with user tables increase the table size

Fatal error:

Number of grid cells is zero. Probably the system and box collapsed.

I had a look on the archives list already and implemented the earlier
suggested remarks but still the problem persists.



Could you please suggest what could be the problem?
