No. The cutoff value is not a function of box size; it is a fixed property of the force field. No wonder the simulation is crashing. If your box is only 0.5 nm, then a cutoff of 1.5 nm is triple-counting interactions across PBC! Triple counting is not possible, per minimum-image convention. I think True. Thinking too quickly ;) Ehsan's report of a "0.5nm" box size is probably wrong, e.g. per its documentation, editconf -d 0.5 does not produce a 0.5nm box. editconf -box 0.5 does produce such a box, though, so it is possible. grompp should have warned quite obviously about the combination of a 0.5-nm box with 1.5-nm cutoffs, though. -Justin -- == Justin A.

Fatal error: 1 particles communicated to PME node 5 are more than 2/3 times the cut-off out of the domain decomposition cell of their charge group in dimension y. This usually means that your system is not well equilibrated. I used simulated annealing for equilibrating the system in NVT and NPT condition.

I appreciate any help/suggestion regarding my case. The cutoffs values (1.5) are wrong for using any of the Gromos parameter sets. Likely the dynamics have become unstable due to violation of the physical model. -Justin -- == Justin A.
