i know this question is not accurate and can have many answers but, as a
professional and experienced person, would you please tell me, whenever you
face with  a crushed simulation, what will  you check?doubt? in your
system(separate of anything related to cpu&.... computers limitations) .
what cause simulations to be crushed usually?

If your simulation is crashing, you're doing something inappropriate, by causing particles to collide with one another. This is an entirely separate issue from the relationship between constraints and time step, dt. Your simulations are not unstable because of excessively fast bond vibrations, they're unstable because the nonbonded interactions in your system are unfavorable when allowed to run with dt = 2 fs.

If the system is unstable at any point, you should verify the parametrization of any non-standard species, which in your case is the sheet. I recall long ago telling you this would be a challenging entity to parametrize, yet you quickly obtained a model and began using it. What verification did you perform to assure yourself that interactions of this ZnS sheet are reasonable in the context of protein moieties? Did you perform any QM interaction energies? Are there experimentally known binding free energies for model compounds? How do you know this model is appropriate?

These are all things you need to consider, and questions that are not within the scope of this mailing list.

Jeah,i meant grompp :)))
and last question, i set constraint = h-Bonds, and dt=0.002 because Of
that(since usually h-Bonds have Max frequency and.... if i assume them
constraint so it's not reasonable to set dt=0.001 ) , is this assumption
true?

You can always decrease dt, that's "reasonable," but it makes no sense and
is inefficient. Without any form of constraints, you'd likely be limited to
dt = 0.0005 in many cases.

Thank you so much,
Is it difference between using gmx tpbconv -extend  5ps OR use .gro
file of last simulation as an input For new 5nS
simulation?(continiuation=yes in .mdp file)

The only reason to invoke grompp is if you're changing something about
the system. For a simple continuation use tpbconv/convert-tpr and mdrun
-cpi.

how can i understand that this 4nS simulation is enough for all 30
windows
which i selected after pulling? as you see i'm doing NVT.i tried to
calculate temperature(15) and total energy(13) and potential(11) for
example for first window;
Energy                      Average   Err.Est.       RMSD  Tot-Drift
------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------
Potential                    -72708        9.2    227.038   -38.8081
(kJ/mol)
Total Energy               -63763.9        8.7    273.747   -34.9771
(kJ/mol)
Temperature                 299.977      0.022    5.04346
  0.128492  (K)
plots show that temperature is ok and total energy doesn't have
considerable fluctuation (except after first moment). but potential

None of those values tell you anything about the convergence of your
simulations.

fluctuates. since i don't see sharp peaks in PMF (but good trends),
is it
rational to do long time simulation? what is the main clue for
knowing
that? is it potential?

If you want to know if the PMF has converged, calculate it for
consecutive, non-overlapping time periods. If they are statistically
indistinguishable, you are done. If they are still changing over time, you
need longer runs.

You mean i should use the output Of 4nS simulation, as an input
for,for example next 10nS and at the end i have simulated it for 14nS,yes?

I don't have any idea about what arbitrary amount of time you should
target for your simulation, but you need to let convergence testing be your
guide.

What do you mean "statistically", would you please give me an example?
Use the bootstrapping method of gmx wham to produce error estimates.
Then plot the PMF curves and if they are overlapping
<https://maps.google.com/?q=he+PMF+curves+and+if+they+are+overlapping&entry=gmail&source=g>
within error, then you have an argument for convergence.
