I am running v3.3.2. I am running an RNA strand with a homemade potential. When I run a single molecule in a periodic box, the system is fine until one nucleic acid crosses the boundary. THen the entire nucleic acid gets moved to the opposite side of the box. Since there are bonds this results in an exploding system. I am running on 4 processors and am using the following mdp file. Any ideas what is going on? The system runs normally for over 200000 time steps. It runs fine until the boundary issue occurs.
