Re: Drude minimization does not converge

Hello, I already set it up twice and got the same error.
I am aware membrane proteins can have randomised setup errors
due to the initial distribution of lipids, which sometimes are not resolved
by the minimizer algorithm.

However, the non-Drude psf/pdb can run fine, with acceptable initial
energies:

ETITLE: TS BOND ANGLE DIHED IMPRP
              ELECT VDW BOUNDARY MISC
KINETIC TOTAL TEMP POTENTIAL TOTAL3
    TEMPAVG PRESSURE GPRESSURE VOLUME
PRESSAVG GPRESSAVG

ENERGY: 0 3583.6527 16962.1087 11760.6333
325.3170 -162471.7959 5441.4535 0.0000 0.0000
  41673.5090 -82725.1218 309.7646 -124398.6309
-82428.7248 309.7646 267.2281 267.6599
829440.0000 267.2281 267.6599

I will run a longer equilibration and then re-setup the Drude files, but I
am convinced the problem lies with the positioning of the lone pairs.

I will try to reproduce the error again, but as said I redid the setup two
times already.
