Hi,
my system is composed of 2 molecules that are arranged in a lattice: i.e., each molecule is represented by 4 atoms (which are charged) and organized in a square lattice. bonds, angles and dihedrals connect the 4 atoms on each lattice. i want to simulate the 2 'plates' such that they are parallel so i added 90 degrees, inter-lattice angles between selected atoms in the system to the [angles] section in the *.top file the processing with grompp worked fine but the mdrun aborted with the following error: *-------------------------------------------------------
Program mdrun, VERSION 4.0.5
Source code file: nsgrid.c, line: 348*
*Fatal error:
Number of grid cells is zero. Probably the system and box collapsed.*
*-------------------------------------------------------
* beforehand the following massages poped-up: * t = 2.954 ps: Water molecule starting at atom 9891 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep.
Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates*
** and* * ** *Step 1478 Warning: pressure scaling more than 1%, mu: 1.95218 1.95218 1.95218* ** does anyone has a clue of what is wrong?

All of these messages indicate that your system has become unstable, for which there could be a number of reasons (insufficient minimization/equilibration, lousy parameters, inappropriate .mdp settings, etc). For more detailed advice, consult the wiki:

http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors#LINCS.2fSETTLE.2fSHAKE_warnings

If you need further help, post the procedure you have used to prepare the system, the outcome of energy minimization, and your .mdp file.

Thanks, Amir
