Dear Sir Berk, Thank you for your quick response. I simulate a system which has 80 chains in total each having 455 atoms. I do not use any electrostatics. The box size vary in each direction with the biggest dimension to be less than 30nm. The function I'm using is switch. The cut-off I'm using is 0.895nm. I also have frozen the 64 chains in freezegrps option in the mdp file in all directions. Judging from what you are telling me, I deduce that I correctly assign the table-extension parameter big enough. I'm not interested in taking into account LJ interactions (either pairs or not) that are more than my cut-off distance. So not even to mention in a distance bigger than: table-ext+cut off. Also reading again the error it is referring to bonded interactions...

You are not by chance simulating large molecules which consist of a single charge group or of very large charge groups?

Before, I had already made steepest descents. You are correct that I have non-bonded interactions at distances that are more than cut-off+table ext distance. I used to put table ext very bin in contrast to my box. My system box was something less than 5nm before and table-ext was 5nm at the time. Now that I simulate a much bigger system than before (in one dimension 6 times bigger), I realized that I had to increase also this parameter. Since this parameter affects only the pairs interactions I do not see the reason why my simulations are affected by it, even if it is already big enough (5nm in a 30nm box). My pairs interactions are (should) not (be) more that 1nm far away.. I had extensively tested this parameter in gromacs 3, and I saw that it affects the pairs interactions only. So I decided to increase it very much and not bother with it. Is there any difference in newest versions? Does it affect anything more?

My guess is that your system was not well equilibrated and at some point some non-bonded interactions were at a distance of more than cut-off+tab_ext. That would make your system explode. In that case increasing tab_ext to 2 nm should also suffice.

So this is not an official response. The story: While I was trying to run an NVT simulation in a monoclinic box I encountered the following problem: Fatal error: 25 of the 336080 bonded interactions could not be calculated because some atoms involved moved further apart than the multi-body cut-off distance (0.895 nm) or the two-body cut-off distance (0.895 nm), see option -rdd, for pairs and tabulated bonds also see option -ddcheck and the: Not all bonded interactions have been properly assigned to the domain decomposition cells Trying to put aside the fact that my system had any bug I found in the net the following: http://www.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-developers/2008-January/002373.html In order to overcome this error I increased the value of table-extension = 30 in my mdp file in such a way, as to be bigger from my biggest dimension I had in my system. The ran proceeded (until now that I'm writing this e-mail) without any problem. This value has to do with the cut-off of pairs1-4 LJ interactions and is calculated in nm.
