Hello!
I performed normal MD simulation at the highest temperature (600 K) during equilibration and the latter was stable. The time step was 1 fs. Now I'm performing normal MD simulations with time step of 0.5 fs to see if this problem still exists.
Best regards,
Sergey

Sometimes it happens that for such replicas the velocities of atoms are written in the .rst file as ************. As I understand, it is connected with fortran format restrictions used to write velocities into .rst file. Because of having ******** instead of numbers mpi stops the simulations with message as follow:
