Hello Justin,
Thank you for providing a tutorial for membrane simulation.
I am doing membrane simulation by following your tutorial.
When I tried to do energy minimization after inflating the system i got the
following result.
Steepest Descents converged to machine precision in 15 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1000.
Potential Energy = 1.6157550e+17
Maximum force = inf on atom 2093
Norm of force = inf
So the system is not converged well. I checked the output .gro file the
protein came completely out of the bilayer.
I tried to fix the problem by increasing the -fc value to 1000000 but still
problem continues.
Will you please tell me what will be the reason behind this problem and how
to fix it.
If the protein is completely out of the bilayer, that means you haven't built
the system properly. EM will not cause massive displacement of any species, so
a protein floating out in the middle of nowhere indicates it is incorrectly
centered within the unit cell.
