Hi, gmx-users

I have a 128 dopc lipid bilayer as group 0 and a 270 atom sio2 sphere
as group 1. Sio2 is put on the top of lipid bilayer

I want them get close together. But the simulation always crash down
with a signal 11 fault when I pull the group 1.
There's nothing strange in md.log and output on screen except the pull
code. I do not know what happend. I think
this might be something related to the pull code.

I've run energy minimization. I am using gromacs 4.0.7 and ubuntu 9.10
desktop. Both single and double precision version
are tested.

Thanks, any comments is appreciable.

Here is part of  md.log

        init[0]= 4.70133e+00; the distance showed on screen is just
this value. However, I set pull_dim = NNY, why there is a init[0]
component?
        init[1]= 0.00000e+00
        init[2]= 1.59859e+04; is it right?

Certainly not, unless you have distances on the order of 15000 nm in your 
system :)

     rate                 = 0.01; can rate be negative? I mean I want
distance decreased.

A more robust approach is to use:

pull_geometry = direction
pull_vec1 = 0 0 -1

That way, you're pulling along the negative z-axis.  Distances can't be 
negative:

You also have to make sure that the total distance you're pulling is less than one-half of the z box vector to avoid PBC distances being measured spuriously.
