Hi Jim,

Try removing jfastwat, don't know if this is even used these days. Then set cut=999, nscm=0 and you should be good.

All the best
Ross

I had previously run equilibration in an NVT ensemble for 10ns, and the simulation appears to have converged. Shake does not solve the problem, nor does it seem to help. I can fix the problem by reducing the time step to 0.1fs, but this seems absurdly low. For your reference, the system has roughly 25,000 atoms. Could someone let me know if there are any significant problems with my input?
