RE: DCD file doubles a monomer

What are the values in UAsim-ernest-step2.restart.xsc?

 

If step2 didn't crash, you need to figure out what changed in your step3
configuration.

Hello JC

 

Thanks for your reply. A previous response also mentioned this but he said
that it seemed fine when I showed my values. Maybe you can give a different
perspective. Thanks. Here are my values:

 

cellBasisVector1 249.67699432373047 0 0

cellBasisVector2 0 228.1929931640625 0

cellBasisVector3 0 0 299.4889907836914

cellOrigin -157.62777709960938 -186.60768127441406 -69.33441925048828

 

And some values from my PDB file:

 

CRYST1 249.365 227.773 298.847 90.00 90.00 90.00 P 1 1

ATOM 1 N VAL P 122 -163.391-161.947 -66.564 1.00 0.00 P1
N

 

Minmax are:

 

{-282.72198486328125 -300.885009765625 -217.57899475097656}
{-33.362998962402344 -73.1259994506836 81.26300048828125}

I bet your cellBasisVectors are wrong. Check the dimensions of your system.

Hello,

 

I am trying to run a large simulation comprised of over 20 monomers (1.6
million atoms total after solvation/ionization). The simulation never makes
it past the first step of equilibration before crashing due to atom
velocity. Recently, I tried running the structure through 20000 minimization
steps. I checked the structure and I noticed that the dcd file adds a
monomer on top of another monomer after the first frame. When the
equilibration crashes its due to atoms located in either of these two
monomers. The two monomers are right on top of one another. I have no idea
how this is happening. I also tried running a minimization in vacuo and the
same thing happened after the first frame. Furthermore, I tried deleting the
second monomer out of the PDB file but then was unable to load the PDB file
into the PSF file in VMD. Is there any way to stop this??? Thank you.
