Dear David,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to put a finite mass on that extra point
(I used mass = 1.008 as the normal hydrogen atom), and the result is even I
used very very small timestep (e.g. 0.1fs), I don't have any problem with
vlimit, and the error message is:
####################################################################
NSTEP = 0 TIME(PS) = 0.000 TEMP(K) = 0.00 PRESS =
0.0
Etot = -217128.3786 EKtot = 0.0000 EPtot = -
217128.3786
BOND = 400.3220 ANGLE = 2165.2216 DIHED =

EELEC = -288402.0835 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
Ewald error estimate: 0.8763E-04
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coordinate resetting (SHAKE) was not accomplished
within 3000 iterations
Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
problem with the energetics of the system.

And about the name, I used 'EPH' and in xleap, I defined its type as 'EP',
and element 'Lp', which is the same as TIP4P, TIP5P water.
Thanks a lot for your kind concern, and I really appreciate your help and
suggestions.
Best regards,
Rachel
