Hello,

I am performing a coarse-grained simulation of benzene, where I am 
converting C6H6 into two beads. Where each bead is essentially C3H3, and 
they are connected by a bond. 

I want to perform IBI on this coarse-grained simulation using votca and 
gmx, but I am having some problems. 

The command I am running is:
csg_inverse --options settings.xml

I am getting an energy divergence (blows up to infinity) when votca runs 
mdrun. This is the error I see in my inverse.log file:

Program: gmx mdrun, version 2019.6
Source file: src/gromacs/mdlib/sim_util.cpp (line 752)
MPI rank: 1 (out of 6)
Fatal error: 
Step 0: The total potential energy is inf, which is not finite. The LJ and 
electrostatic contributions to the energy are inf and 0, respectively. A 
non-finite potential energy can be caused by overlapping interactions in 
bonded interactions or very large or Nan coordinate values. Usually this is
caused by a badly- or non-equilibrated initial configuration, incorrect 
interactions or parameters in the topology.
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors

I am running a minimization script, but I don't see why energy is blowing 
up. 

I also am unsure of what the table_b1.xvg and table_a1.xvg files are for. I 
naively got these files from the hexane tutorial. What are these files for? 
How do I make them?

I have attached my grommp.mdp, conf.gro, settings.xml, topol.top and tables 
files.  

Any advice you have would be appreciated!
