the same mdp file does the equlibriation fine at dt =0.0002 rather than 0.002.what could be the problem.if so can i continue using 0.0002 for dt in this simulation.Anad also the cnt is not infinite adn also the graphen sheets are not infinite.


Reducing the timestep can be effective when initial forces are too high and cause everything to blow up. Decreasing it by 10x is usually not necessary and suggests to me that you're dealing with a physically unreasonable system that may or may not eventually blow up again.

I'd suspect that your EM was not sufficient, or your starting configuration is not favorable, or perhaps both.

        here goes my mdp file.The when i attach the top file by mail is
        getting bounced back.Thanks in adcvance



        title           = double walled cnt between graphene sheets


    Is the CNT and/or the graphene infinite?  If any species are, then
    you need to use the periodic_molecules keyword.

    How successful was energy minimization?  What was the output (Fmax
    and Epot)?

    I see nothing particularly wrong with the .mdp file (other than
    perhaps the keyword mentioned above), so that suggests either the
    topology or the initial configuration is not sound.
