DCD File Not Generating

From: Oscar Bastidas (obastida_at_umn.edu)

Hello,

I am trying to run my simulations and my dcd files are never generated. I
can't figure out why it's not working when this is something that has
worked in the past for previous simulations/jobs. Furthermore, my cluster
system indicates that the NAMD job terminated normally.

The entire simulation is supposed to be several back to back simulations,
but my first simulation never generates a dcd file. The log file even says
that the coordinate dcd file was not created.

Everything looks normal in my conf file as I've always had it for previous
successful runs and I get no error files generated either. Could someone
please offer me insight as to why no dcd file is ever being created? What
could be causing this?

I am using CHARMM-GUI to generate my simulation package.

My conf file contents are below the line of asterisks.

Thanks.

Oscar B.
