Dear all,

I am a new user of namd as well as MD simulation. I solvated a protein-DNA complex with a water-box and defined the periodic boundary conditions in the configuration file. The box defined by cellBasisVectors has the dimensions 147, 138, 79 Å and the PME grid dimensions of 120, 120, 60. At the beginning of energy minimization, the following information was output.

The program then output the last 4 line endlessly. Anyone can point out what was the problem? Thanks a lot in advance.

Sincerely

Wei
