Hi Chris, I can imagine that the pressure scaling has a more profound effect on the 'visible' surroundings if a cut-off is used, while this will not be the case when using PME. So the shock for an atom when the coordinates are adjusted can be expected to be greater with cut-off based methods, rend

I am glad that the pressure coupling intervals have been identified as a source of instability for poorly equilibrated systems as I was unaware of that. Still, the fact that the SD integrator also solves the problem also suggests that this is simply a poorly equilibrated system. I am not su

Hi Itamar, Yes, it appears that the 4.5.x series is more sensitive, due to the pressure coupling at intervals rather than at every step. Unfortunately the way it is now tied in with calculations of energies and neighbour searching indeed means that having nstpcouple set at 1 results in low simulat

Hi Itamar, I haven't really followed the discussion and I'm a bit too lazy to look it all up now ;) But have you tried setting the nst parameters to 1 (except for output). Especially nstpcouple. Note that nstpcouple=1 requires nstlist=1 and nstcalcenergy=1. If that solves the problem, you may nee

Hi Itamar, In my experience, the 4.5 series appears to be slightly less tolerant of unstable systems than the 4.0 series. Try minimizing and/or equilibrating your system longer. See http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors and http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Terminology/Blowing_Up MZ
