[gmx-users] mdrun WARING and crash

Hallo Justin,

One update on the wired snapshot mentioned on previous email.
I checked over the output coordinates and xmgrace it with xy directions, finding that it is not crystal, instead it is a normal homogeneous box. All these give us a clue that it might be the trajectory file goes wrong, cause we calculated the RDF and MSD and view VMD all through traj.xtc. 
I am checking the way I output the trajectory. Could you please give me your suggestions if there is something wrong on my .mdp file( included in earlier email).

It seems that the system now is working, though with still some output errors or perhaps further unexpected problems. Well, so far we got a progress, and I want to say thank you very much for all your help.

Kind regards,
Li

Please provide links to images. This is probably not a big deal as long as
the simulation is actually running, since a triclinic representation of the
unit cell is used.
