Dear Gromacs users I am running a free energy calculation, my simulation crashes and generates different PDB structures I have well equilibrated the system before going to the production and the system seems stable. My input file for production run is as below:- ; Run control integrator = sd ; stochastic leap-frog integrator dt = 0.002 nsteps = 1500000 ; 3 ns comm-mode = Linear ; remove center of mass translation nstcomm = 100 ; frequency for center of mass motion removal
