[gmx-users] non-zero total charge

Solved!
I checked the topology. However, a qtot of 0.000 was shown at the end of
atoms section, yet, 1152 atoms had an extra plus/minus 0.000001 charge which
added up to 0.001135 extra net charge. Rounding these numbers to zero
removed the note, leading to a zero total charge.
Nevertheless, I don't have any idea from where they were generated in the
beginning!
Kind regards,
Ali

That net charge looks somewhat large to simply be due to rounding error, so
check your topology for errors.
