Hello amber:
 Im trying to run a FEP calculation, and after 130ps of simulation, I get lots 
of warnings (WARNING: vlimit exceeded for step   273242; vmax =    23.94). 
Previously to the fep I ran a 1000ps long simulation at the same conditions 
(tip3 water, 298K, constant pressure) for equilibrating the system and I had 
no one of such wanings. I'm suspicious about the dummy atoms...
 I have several dummy atoms and I'm not sure which of the parameters for the 
dummies should be 0. In the tutorial (val-to-ala) it seems they use arbitrary 
non-zero parameters for everything except the NONB. Coud anybody tell me how 
I can have more information about parameters for dummy atoms in FEP's?
 Thank you,
Miguel.
