Hi gmx users,

I have simulated ionomer in water solution using gromos force field. But in 
middle of simulation(after 2 ns) the simulation stopped and I received these 
messages:


WARNING: Listed nonbonded interaction between particles 174 and 188
at distance 3f which is larger than the table limit 3f nm.

This is likely either a 1,4 interaction, or a listed interaction inside
a smaller molecule you are decoupling during a free energy calculation.
Since interactions at distances beyond the table cannot be computed,
they are skipped until they are inside the table limit again. You will
only see this message once, even if it occurs for several interactions.

IMPORTANT: This should not happen in a stable simulation, so there is
probably something wrong with your system. Only change the table-extension
distance in the mdp file if you are really sure that is the reason.

Fatal error:
1 particles communicated to PME node 5 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off out 
of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension y.
This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated.

I used simulated annealing for equilibrating the system in NVT and NPT 
condition. The mdp files are:

--------------------------

Is the equilibration time is long enough? I appreciate any help/suggestion 
regarding my case.


The cutoffs values (1.5) are wrong for using any of the Gromos parameter sets. Likely the dynamics have become unstable due to violation of the physical model.
