Hi Tsjerk, 

Thanks for helping me. I can run trjconv without nojump. And when I use gmxcheck, it gives the following output: 

Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7035 are large (-2.14748e+06)
Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7036 are large (-2.14748e+06)
Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7036 are large (-2.14748e+06)
Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7036 are large (-2.14748e+06)
Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7037 are large (-2.14748e+06)
Warning at frame 5: coordinates for atom 7037 are large (-2.14748e+06)

Doesn't it mean my system is too large?

Thank you so much!
