Hi, everyone,
I am doing MD of my protein with PMF and periodic coundary conditions. 
MD run resulted in a fatal error:
Periodic cell has become too small for original patch grid!(see attached 
file).
Could anyone give me advice?(I used top_all27_prot_na.inp to prepare my 
solvated .psf and .pdb files.)
I also attached my .config file(see attached file).
Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Xiaobing

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