Dear Ross,
Thank you very much for your reply. Due to the network failure, I waited for two days to check my job.
I followed the tutorial of DNA and simulate ethanol this time. I first run gaussian and antechamber to
build the prepi info of ethanol, using resp charge model. And then I solvate the solute in TIP3PBOX with
thickness 10.0A. I tried to perform 2 steps minimizations, followed by 2 steps md simulations. The failure
is in the second step md simulation. All the files are all in attachment.
Would you please help to check them and find if there is anything wrong within? Thank you in advance.
