Hi,
Hope every one is fine.
I am running an explicit water simulation using watercap with igb=10. The system contains about 11600 atoms. I have used the default values for &pb name list. Follwing is the input file.
&cntrl
imin = 1,
maxcyc = 600,
ntmin = 2,
igb = 10,
ntb = 0,
ntr = 1,
ntpr = 10,
ivcap = 0,
cut = 12
&end
&pb
maxitn = 1800
npbverb = 1
&end
Hold the ALL PROTEIN ATOMS fixed
500.0
FIND
* * * *
SEARCH
RES 1 614
END
Hold the SUGAR RING fixed
100.0
FIND
C1 * * *
C2 * * *
C3 * * *
C4 * * *
C5 * * *
O5 * * *
SEARCH
RES 618
END
END
Here, first I want to minimize the cap only so we have restrains on rest of the atoms except the sugar ring. Now the simulation fails and the output file says (an excerpt from the original file)...

PB bomb in pb_reslist(): MAXNEI too short
I saw this error in the archive and there it was suggested that one should update MAXNEI manually in the pb hearder file and then recompile the code, is that recommended? similarly... if I change the cutres, cutnb and cutfd values to something smaller than default, then I recieve "maxnbr too short" error. Moreover, even if the MAXNEI thing is sloved what are these warnings all about why the iterarions all the time exceed the max value... can you spot roughly, if not clearly, what might have gone wrong and what could be done to solve it...
Any help is desperately needed and highly appreciated!
Awaiting the response...
Thanks,
Waqas.
