Hi,
sorry I'm back to this thread after quite a long time, as I was trying
to solve other problems. Now I'm back to the reverse transformation
tutorial on the martini webpage and whenever I try to use the mdp
script provided there for the annealing I just end up with the same
error message, which is that it cannot open the .xtc file that it is
supposed to create.

Program mdrun, VERSION 3.3.1
Source code file: gmxfio.c, line: 706

Can not open file:
annealing_LLL_frag.xtc
-------------------------------------------------------

"Love is Like Moby Dick, Get Chewed and Get Spat Out" (Urban Dance Squad)

Halting program mdrun

gcq#83: "Love is Like Moby Dick, Get Chewed and Get Spat Out" (Urban
Dance Squad)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
MPI_ABORT was invoked on rank 0 in communicator MPI_COMM_WORLD
with errorcode -1.

NOTE: invoking MPI_ABORT causes Open MPI to kill all MPI processes.
You may or may not see output from other processes, depending on
exactly when Open MPI kills them.

The mdp file looks like

Compared to the file of the tutorial I just have changed the number of
groups (2 instead of 3) and the rest is as the one that is provided,
so I really don't understand why is GROMACS 3.3.1 complaining.
Can you help me on that?
Thanks a lot
