This is a very detailed error message that gives you several possible
explanations about why this error occurred. In fact, I wrote this error
message based on replies that you would typically get if you asked about
the cryptic error message "Error during floating point read" on this list.
GB simulations should NOT have multiple molecules, unless they are
non-covalently bound. Otherwise this error will occur with a long enough
simulation.
I second Levi's suggestion that you should visualize your system.
Visualization often yields good clues about what went wrong.
Good luck,
Jason
P.S. Please wait at least a couple days before reposting your question.
People will respond as they have time (and it may take a couple days for a
knowledgeable person to get to your question).
