Hello everyone,
When running simulation of a trans-membrane protein with NAMD2.6,I got the following warning and error.
"ERROR: Stray PME grid charges detected: 3 sending to 7 for planes 89
Warning: Stray PME grid charges ignored!"
I have tried to:
1. Lower the final temperature ( from 310K to 300K)
2. Increase the PME grid parameters (from 80 90 120 to 90 90 128)
3. Lower the constraints (from 500 to 50 and then 30)
4. Chang the Periodic Boundary conditions (from 69 82 114 to 67 80 112)
5. Increase the PME cutoff form 10 to 12 and then 14
What is more, this system can run smoothly with amber.
However, these errors and warnings are still there.
So, I eagerly need your help with this problem.
Any suggestion is greatly welcomed.
Thanks very much
