[gmx-users] System equilibrium problems

Hi everyone,

I recently tried to perform an 25 ns simulation on 12 nodes and was greeted
with this error around 3.2 ns into the run.

'3 particles communicated to PME node 9 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off
out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension y.'

To my knowledge the system has reached equilibrium as shown by energy
minimization, nvt and npt runs prior to the md run. The only thing that
concerns me is the Pressure average of 1.9

Energy                      Average   Err.Est.       RMSD  Tot-Drift

Energy                      Average   Err.Est.       RMSD  Tot-Drift

Additionally here is a link to my md.mdp file

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
