Dear Gromacs users, I am want to simulate water on a substrate. I have a water.pdb file with the coordinates of a cuboid of water and a substrate.pdb file with the coordinates of the substrate. The box dimensions along the x and y directions are identical for both files. I run two simulations to minimise both structures separately. I get no error, meaning the topology file must be correct (is this a correct assumption?) This also ensures that all atoms in the minimised.pdb files are within the box I have specified (as opposed to before, when some atoms were slightly outside). I then have a script to merge both minimised .pdb files. I minimise the system and get a segmentation fault:
40783 Segmentation fault Further, in the file.log I get: Steepest Descents: Tolerance (Fmax) = 6.00000e+01 Number of steps = 100000 Step Time Lambda 0 0.00000 0.00000 Energies (kJ/mol) Bond Angle LJ-14 Coulomb-14 LJ (SR) 1.36501e+04 6.58753e+04 4.22206e+04 -1.70332e+06 -nan Coulomb (SR) Coul. recip. Potential Pressure (bar) 1.18196e+06 2.65781e+03 -nan -nan I have visualised the input merged.pdb file and have also checked the minimum and maximum coordinates of water and substrate and I am sure there is no atom overlap. In fact, water and substrate atoms are separate by more than 3A. ( I have also tried previously with smaller separations). What could else could I check?
