[gmx-users] Problem related to solvating CNT and then removing out the molecules inside CNT

Hey Justin,
I am really having a hard time using GROMACS for my simulation. When trying
to equilibrate in NVT ensemble I am getting this warning.
---------------
WARNING: Listed nonbonded interaction between particles 227 and 230
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.
------------------
 Can you please look over my nvt.mdp file
