Thanks a lot for the reply.
I encountered another problem with stability calculations.
The output is as pasted below with huge values of PBTOT and GBTOT.
# MEAN STD
# =======================
ELE 111173.29 866.98
VDW 84569627.92 89181.67
INT 89440034.73 26383643.99
GAS 174120835.95 26383787.90
PBSUR 0.00 0.00
PBCAL -167771.24 2531.76
PBSOL -167771.24 2531.76
PBELE -56597.95 2537.82
PBTOT 173953064.71 26383907.93
GBSUR 0.00 0.00
GB -171262.49 786.66
GBSOL -171262.49 786.66
GBELE -60089.20 517.04
GBTOT 173949573.45 26383648.93
This looks unreasonable.
The input file is attached. Please suggest me on this problem.
Thanks a lot once again.
