I have a problem during minimization
and shows a error that water molecules starting at atom X cannot
be settled i had attached the output of mdrun below. I read the
earlier post for same problem faced by other gmx users.tried to
reduce the timestep still facing the same error.Tried diff water
model and force fields as well to check if i get the same error
.But still irrespective of any water model and forcefield i get
the same error.And was not able to find a solution.Any
suggestion please....<br>

Several people have suggested you may have a bad starting structure,
with atoms overlapping or such. This confirms it.<br>

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.<br>

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy.<br>
You might need to increase your constraint accuracy, or turn<br>
off constraints alltogether (set constraints = none in mdp file)<br>
