[gmx-users] Simulation crashed - Large VCM, Pressure scaling more than 1%, Bond length not finite

[Kevin Boyd]

Hi,

If it was something fundamentally wrong, you'd see an issue before this.
Martini is just inherently a teensy bit unstable - but this is where the
non-reproducibility of simulations comes in handy; restarting from far
enough away will likely avoid a transiently high energy event.
