I am simulating one urea molecule in water and am struggling with it nvt.log
<http://gromacs.5086.x6.nabble.com/file/n5009701/nvt.log>  



*The .mdp for energy minimization is*

; minim.mdp - used as input into grompp to generate em.tpr
; Parameters describing what to do, when to stop and what to save
integrator	= steep		; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization)
emtol		= 100.0  	; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 1000.0
kJ/mol/nm
emstep          = 0.01          ; Energy step size
nsteps		= 50000	  	; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform
energygrps	= URE

; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to
calculate the interactions
nstlist		= 1		; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces
ns_type		= grid		; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid)
rlist		= 1.0		; Cut-off for making neighbor list (short range forces)
coulombtype	= PME		; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions
rcoulomb	= 1.0		; Short-range electrostatic cut-off
rvdw		= 1.0		; Short-range Van der Waals cut-off
pbc		= xyz 		; Periodic Boundary Conditions (yes/no)




/*And the nvt.mdp is:
