Thank you in advance for your answer. When I told you about "atoms", I meant
"beads". I'm sorry about the confusion.

The simulation stops in the minimization step nš 199. This is the last line
I got in the log file :

ETITLE: TS BOND ANGLE DIHED
IMPRP ELECT VDW BOUNDARY
MISC KINETIC TOTAL TEMP
POTENTIAL TOTAL3 TEMPAVG PRESSURE
GPRESSURE VOLUME PRESSAVG GPRESSAVG

3148200.0000 15341394.4297 15341394.4297

It seems VDW energy is too high.

I'm trying to follow your suggestion. I'm running a simulation using full
atom system, and I wonder it helps.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong with NAMD configuration file. I am not an
expert with NAMD configuration for CG systems:

I appreciate your help.
