Dear all,

I am running a QM/MM in a minimization simulation and come across an error as follows, I searched the namd mailing list and re-setup the "cellOrigin" parameter by PBC box, however, the issue still not solved, how to fix the issue? Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

the constrain parameter
# mobile atom selection:

constraints on
consexp 2
consref YZZ-restraint.pdb
conskfile YZZ-restraint.pdb
conskcol B
constraintScaling 2.0 #(when the value set to 5, an error will occured )

the minization parameter

 # Number of steps in the QM/MM simulation.
minimize 100
run 2000

the error information,
............................
