[gmx-users] error in mdrun

[reisingere at rostlab.informatik.tu-muenchen.de]

Hi everybody,
I want to do a md for a protein with a membrane around it.
I already minimised the energy of the protein.



Output of the minimization:

^MStep=  812, Dmax= 1.4e-06 nm, Epot= -7.59283e+05 Fmax= 3.59781e+02,
atom= 1653
Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 10

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)

writing lowest energy coordinates.


Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 813 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 10.
Potential Energy  = -7.5928356e+05
Maximum force     =  3.6197971e+02 on atom 1653
Norm of force     =  2.6517429e+00





In my eyes this output was okey so I went on with the md.
And here I get the error:

Fatal error:
A charge group moved too far between two domain decomposition steps
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated




I already read the error page for this error and also the blowing up page
but I still do not know what to do now.

My .mdp file for the md runs looks like this:

define          = -DPOSRES

gen_seed                = 9999

Are here any optinos which can cause the error?

Bests,
