Hi
Thanks for IL topologies. I was just trying to simulate a system bmimpf6. The problem is that if I do energy minimization, it is giving negative potential energy. this is the minimization script.
; minim.mdp - used as input into grompp to generate em.tpr
integrator = steep ; Algorithm (steep = steepest descent minimization)
emtol = 100.0 ; Stop minimization when the maximum force < 1000.0 kJ/mol/nm
emstep = 0.02 ; Energy step size
nsteps = 50000 ; Maximum number of (minimization) steps to perform

; Parameters describing how to find the neighbors of each atom and how to calculate the interactions
nstlist = 10 ; Frequency to update the neighbor list and long range forces
cutoff-scheme = Verlet
ns_type = grid ; Method to determine neighbor list (simple, grid)
coulombtype = PME ; Treatment of long range electrostatic interactions
rcoulomb = 0.8 ; Short-range electrostatic cut-off
rvdw = 0.8 ; Short-range Van der Waals cut-off
pbc = xyz ; Periodic Boundary Conditions (yes/no)
