Greetings gromacs users,

I'm trying to run a simulation of polarizable water and ions with the
drude-2013 forcefield. I use the simulation parameters from the supporting
information from "Implementation of Extended Lagrangian Dynamics in GROMACS
for Polarizable Simulations Using the Classical Drude Oscillator Model".

Please note that this implementation remains developmental and therefore is not officially supported yet. Most features work but I still haven't completed the domain decomposition code re-write.

In pure water (SWM4-NDP) I have no issues, but when I incorporate ions like
Na and Cl most of the simulation crash. Also, the message of HARDWALL
appear at every step for the ions. I studied the simulations to find when
and how the crash is produce but without success because the reasons are
not sistematic.

If you're trying to run with DD, then these failures are spurious. If you're using OpenMP to parallelize, then you probably haven't adequately minimized/equilibrated the system. It is extremely easy to break a polarizable simulation, particularly in the early stages.

I'm still learing so I think maybe the simulations parameters that I put
are not the best suitable for ions.

You haven't given any useful diagnostic information, such as what steps you've taken or what input settings you're using, so there's not much to go on to help you.
