Hi Bin,
I would expect that you do indeed have some bonds stretching abnormally.
What CG model are you using? Have you inspected the trajectory around
the crash to see what is going on?
What cg model are you using?
1 fs timesteps are quite short for cgmd, so I doubt that that is the
problem.
Best,
Peter
