Regarding timestep decreasing, No, because it is only related to the MD calculation not for the minimization step. Regarding the trick, I do not know what you exactly mean. The trick is about minimization. Your minimization steps and dcdfreq are 50000 and 250, respectively. Therefore, you should have a lot of frames even for the minimization process. Then I recommend you to follow the trick using the final snapshot of minimization.  Please also consider whether you have set the PBC parameters, correctly. let me know if you have further questions. ________________________________ From: bharat gupta <bharat.85.monu_at_gmail.com> To: saman amiri <saman_amiri00_at_yahoo.com> Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 4:10 AM Subject: Re: namd-l: Re: Equilibration Hi, I want to ask can we do this what you said in your mail, for the minimization step. As after loading the psf file and then the .dcd file the number of frames doesnot  increase in my case.

The error is coming from too closeness of some atoms relative to each other. Upon finishing the minimization process, MD is crashed due to high velocity of those atoms which their Cartesian positions are too close to each other. Such an error is common when there are some coincidence of atoms position in the initial coordination file (pdb file). > >There are some ways to deal with the problem. One way is increasing minimization steps, but since minimization through 20000 steps is enough (I think), I recommend you to use the following trick: > > >load the psf as well as final snapshot of your MD simulation. and then select those atoms which have a high velocity. > > >set qwe [atomselect top "Write the controversial atoms index"] >$qwe moveby {0.3 0.3 0.3} >set qaz [atomselect top all] >$qaz writepdb COOR.pdb > > >now use the new pdb file (COOR.pdb) along with the previous psf file.
