RE: Error applying PME to simulation set up

This most likely isn't related to PME, but two other options are possible:

 

1. You cutoff value is close to the periodic cell size.

2. You do NPT and the box shrinks very much. Try setting "margin 5"

 

You might to post your namd input so we can see whats going on.

Subject: namd-l: Error applying PME to simulation set up

 

Hello

 

I tried running a helical protein structure equilibriated in water and
ionized to 0.1 mol/L with NaCl. However, I encountered an error

 

"FATAL ERROR: Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!

Possible solutions are to restart from a recent checkpoint, increase margin,
or disable useFlexibleCell for liquid simulation."

 

while applying PME electrostatics whereas setting a dielectric value to say
15 is working fine.

 

Can anyone here provide certain insight into this issue?

 

Thanks

Sourav
