maybe this is irrelative but i expeienced in pulling that when i decrease
dt from 2fs to 1fs i could make AA much closer to Sheet (0.1 nm)in
comparison with 2fs(max 0.4 nm). it's normal but these pulling runs were
crushed before(when dt=2fs)  so i had had to decrease nsteps or decrease
pull_rate , but i don't face with these crush anymore! i can pull it too
close. i know maybe these beginner confessions seem unacceptable ;)))) and
silly.
i know this question is not accurate and can have many answers but, as a
professional and experienced person, would you please tell me, whenever you
face with  a crushed simulation, what will  you check?doubt? in your
system(separate of anything related to cpu&.... computers limitations) .
what cause simulations to be crushed usually?
