Thanks again Jerome.
As you said I ran alchemify first on the psf file. Here is the output info
I got:
~/Alchemify/alchemify_LINUX 05collab_wet.psf out.psf 05collab_wet.fep
FEPfile : 112454 atoms found, 10 initial, 40 final
69937 angles : removing 0 angles coupling initial and final groups
57708 dihedrals : removing 0 dihedrals coupling initial and final groups
3932 impropers : removing 0 impropers coupling initial and final groups
Writing 400 exclusion pairs
Then I tried running FEP calculations. But I am still getting the following
error:
Reason: FATAL ERROR: Low global exclusion count! System unstable or
pairlistdist or cutoff too small.
FATAL ERROR: See http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/bugreport.html
Charm++ fatal error:
FATAL ERROR: Low global exclusion count! System unstable or pairlistdist
or cutoff too small.
I tried playing with cutoff distance!
thanks again for your help,
Shyno
