[gmx-users] Re: About Error in Equlibration while using CYC pdb

[Justin Lemkul]

Please keep the discussion on the mailing list.  I have told you several times 
that I do not reply to private Gromacs help requests unless I ask you to send me 
files for diagnostic purposes.  You stand a better chance of resolving the issue 
with the help of the community, and the resolution will (hopefully) serve as a 
helpful thread for others in the future.

I'm not going to hunt through a 1100-line file and hope to figure out what 
you've done to try to make it work.  You need to describe precisely what 
modifications you have made, show any relevant snippets (which can be copied and 
pasted, rather than sending attachments).

A spike is a sudden increase.

Any of the terms may be useful.  It's impossible to try to guess which one, if 
any, will reveal the source of the problem.
