Hello,

I am using the following .mdp file for protein BG solvent simulations. 
However, the job always failed with the following messages:

vol -0.00! imb F 22% step 144100, remaining wall clock time: 207 s
vol -0.00! imb F 23% step 144200, remaining wall clock time:   207 s
vol -0.00! imb F 23% step 144300, remaining wall clock time:   207 s
vol -0.00! imb F 23% step 144400, remaining wall clock time:   207 s

Program gmx mdrun, VERSION 5.1.4

Range checking error:
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to a grid
based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or parameter
errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up with some
coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we cannot
put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those errors.
Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the potential
energy seems reasonable before trying again.
Variable ind has value 131. It should have been within [ 0 .. 131 ]


The initial system seems to be all right since it is a liner peptide. 
The initial energy of the peptide is also very low. I am not so sure 
whether my .mdp is correct or not....


Thank you very much.
