Hi Abhijit,

Thank you for your reply.


There is no negative frequencies in the output.

I am just running a test case, a Gly3 (GGG) in a vacuum box, to test 
whether Gromacs can predict reasonable frequencies/normal modes for high 
frequency vibrations.

The configuration, topology and md input files are attached.

I do not know whether I ran a correct simulation with appropriate 
parameters or I just made some mistakes.

Could you please help me to check that?

Many thanks,
Hao
