[gmx-users] initial temperature ridiculously high

Hi, ALL

I met a bizarre in a NVT simulation in which the initial temperature is
ridiculously high.
Even though I specify the initial temperature to be 200 K.

; GENERATE VELOCITIES FOR STARTUP RUN
gen_vel                  = yes
gen_temp                 = 200.0
gen_seed                 = 173529

The force field I used is called CLAYFF(
http://www.sklogwiki.org/SklogWiki/index.php/CLAYFF_force_field),
in which all atoms except hydroxyl groups interact through non-bonded vdW
and electrostatic interactions.

What's more strange is that after 5 ps, the system converted from a ordered
layer structure
into a disordered structure, like melting, although temperature goes to 200
K.

Any comments?

Thanks in advance !
