Hi All,

I am trying to do a Simulated annealing on a protein structure and I got
the following error.
--------------------------
 vlimit exceeded for step 0 ; vmax = 25661.90229977621
 vlimit exceeded for step 1 ; vmax = 271.9070745233018
 vlimit exceeded for step 2 ; vmax = 11.03999138171793
 vlimit exceeded for step 3 ; vmax = 6.104038534855053
 vlimit exceeded for step 4 ; vmax = 6.405817372735854
 ....
 ....
--------------------------

I have protonated the structure but have not hydrated it. Below is the
script that i have used.

-------------
 &cntrl
    nstlim=20000, pencut=-0.001, nmropt=1,
    ntpr=200, ntt=1, ntwx=200,
    cut=15.0, ntb=0, vlimit=5,
    lastist = 7500000, lastrst = 7500000,

            value2=4.0, /
 &wt type='TAUTP', istep1=18001,istep2=19000,value1=1.0,
            value2=1.0, /
 &wt type='TAUTP', istep1=19001,istep2=20000,value1=0.1,
            value2=0.05, /
                                                                              
 &wt type='END' /

I have also done the normal MD on the same structure which went fine, but
in this case I have protonated it and also hydrated it.

Can someone please help me solve the problem.

Thanks in advance
