Check that the reference coordinates in your SMDfile match those
being loaded initially (either coordinates or binCoordinates in case
you are restarting from a previous simulation). My bet is that they
are very different.
If you are not starting from time 0, then they shouldn't match;
instead, the real coordinate should be approximately v*t away from
the reference.
