Thanks for the reply. <br><br>Would that cause any problems in the simulation? It says force 154.9%, does that mean it is applying the wrong force? Is it safe to proceed to simulation like that?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Nihal<br>

    Not all systems can efficiently parallelize on arbitrary numbers of
    processors for a given implementation. There&#39;s an analysis at the

    minimum cell size. Possibly there&#39;s an issue there, but more likely
    you&#39;ve got not enough work for your processors.<br><font color="#888888">
