I have a simulation of 40 000 frames and I am taking random frames of the simulation to aply the free energy tutorial of gromacs. When I perform the g_bar tool this message:WARNING: Some of these results violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics appears at the end. Do you have any idea of what is wrong? or any advice about this problem?

As I already told you several days ago, an alchemical transformation on a 
polymer is unlikely to converge or give sensible results.  You shouldn't 
approach your problem in this way.
