[gmx-users] Nano-structures equilibration

[Alex]

You have problems with the system and you expect everyone here to be a 
magician and guess your inputs. What is the forcefield, what is the 
timestep, how are you describing your graphene sample, what is your 
number of exclusions for that sample, what is your barostat type during 
eqilibration? Are you doing static energy minimization prior to your 
equilibration run?

You willonly see this message once, even if it occurs for several interactions.
