[gmx-users] Re: lincs warning during simulatiion of open-to-close transitions

[James Starlight]

In addition to LINCS warning during last simulation I obtained the
next warning from mdrun (again that was when calmodulin reached close
compact conformation)

WARNING: Listed nonbonded interaction between particles 1230 and 1249
at distance 3f which is larger than the table limit 3f nm.

This is likely either a 1,4 interaction, or a listed interaction inside
a smaller molecule you are decoupling during a free energy calculation.
Since interactions at distances beyond the table cannot be computed,
they are skipped until they are inside the table limit again. You will
only see this message once, even if it occurs for several interactions.

IMPORTANT: This should not happen in a stable simulation, so there is
probably something wrong with your system. Only change the table-extension
distance in the mdp file if you are really sure that is the reason.

what does it mean and how I could avoid it ?
