Hi All, I am experiencing a few problems in membrane simulations wrt COM removal. I downloaded a 400 ns pre-equilibrated Slipid-DMPC membrane with all the accompanying files. I then carried out the following steps: 1) energy minimization 2) NVT Eq - 100 ps 3) NPT Eq - 250 ps (Berendsen temp, Pres coupling)
Then I used g_select to select the upper and lower DMPC leaflets. The then carried out a 250 ps NPT eq again. The only change was: comm-grps = SOL DMPC ==> comm-grps = SOL upper lower On every step in log file, I get the following message: * Step Time Lambda 124000 248.00000 0.00000Large VCM(group lower): -0.00051, -0.00515, -0.00652, Temp-cm: 8.11828e+29 Energies (kJ/mol) U-B Proper Dih.

There are no issues when I remove COM for the entire system. I have seen this issue come up a few times in the archives too, but I didn't find a satisfactory solution since the bilayer was very well equilibrated. I would appreciate any suggestions.
