Re: Simulation crashes during annealing the reverted all-atom structure

Hi Rabeta,
The best strategy when faced with this sort of error is usually to set the
dcd output frequency to 1 and then inspect what happens to the system just
before it is crashing. Likely the rbcg heuristics somehow created a bad
starting structure; by inspecting the trajectory it may become obvious what
is going on. If not, could I have a look at your input files?
Thanks,
Peter
