Hi,
Are you talking about tutorial B1, step 5.1.5? Are you using the files
provided from the website ( polyAT_wat_md1.in, polyAT_wat.prmtop,
polyAT_wat_min2.rst)?

I used the SHAKE algorithm (the same as in the tutorial), but the MD only ran for 7 steps (stepsize 1fs) and stopped with the error message of segmentation fault. At the step 7, the kinetic energy term becomes NaN. On the other hand, if I don't use the SHAKE algorithm (ntc=1, ntf=1, time step=0.2 fs) the MD ran normally. Any hints on this?
