Re: Incorrect PSF file for min.pme

Hi Eva,
when you say that the minimization stalls, how long did you wait? Did it
crash or just hang? Also, when you built your structure, do you see any
exceptionally long bonds, or atoms located at (0,0,0)? Either of these
can happen when you're building from an incomplete structure (which it
appears you are), and can cause problems during minimization.
Best,
Peter
