Dear All,

When I heat up the simulation box using the following input file after
minimization using (ntc=2 ntf=2 as recommended for TIP3P water models),
below are the input files and output files any suggestions are highly
appreciated.
minimization of water or solvent molecules
&cntrl
   imin=1,
   ntb=1,
   cut=10.0,ntc=2,ntf=2,
   maxcyc=10000, ncyc=1000,
   ntt=0,
&end


   heat/dynamics at constant volume
 &cntrl
   imin=0,
   ntxo=1, ntrx=1,
   cut=10.0,tempi=0.1,
   ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwe=500,
   nstlim=70000, temp0=50.0,
   dt=0.0005,
   ntc=2, ntf=2, tol=0.0000001,
   ntx=1, irest=0,
   ntb=1,tautp=1,
   ntt=1,
   nmropt=1,ntr=1
  /
 &wt
 type='TEMP0', istep1=0,istep2=70000,value1=0.0, value2=50.0,
 /
 &wt type='END',
 /
GROUP FOR CONSTRAINTS

The end of output file of minimization run as below

(restarts due to linmin failure), when I visualize there are no distortions

When I heat the system there is sudden temperature rise and there is job
failure
