Dear All,

When i use the command
genbox -ci single.gro -nmol 175 -box 7.5 7.5 7.5 -try 100 -o 175_noW.gro

the error is
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

What does it mean ?


Google can tell you all about segmentation faults. You probably ran out of memory. genbox is a memory hog, and when you're trying to insert lots of molecules into a box, it gets progressively harder to find space for them. The best solution is to either:

1. Use a larger box and equilibrate to achieve the desired size
2. Insert fewer molecules at a time

And if i reduce the -try value, the out put file does not contain the right
number of residues (not 175, and less than).

Thank for any help !
Regards,

KT
