Dear Massimiliano,

It's unclear if you're coarse-grain sim is a residue-based or shape-based
coarse-grain model.

Have you tried restarting the sim, and does it repeat the error or continue
successfully?

Have you loaded the last few frames corresponding to the last few steps of
the sim to insure you aren't experience some non-physical behavior or
particles with high velocities?

Best,
Chris
