Hi David,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I do have nitrogen molecules in my system
which is non-standard residues. So do you think if the cut-off distance may
also be the reason for that error?

Any further your idea/ opinion is highly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Best Regards,
Vu T.

If you only get the error occasionally, it may be ignored. But it probably
indicates that something is odd with your simuation, or that you are pushing
the limits of the integrator. Are there non-standard things in your
simulation (non-standard residues or ligands? high temperature? something
else odd in your selection of cutoffs, simulation parameters, etc.) If you
run what we call "standard" simulations (protein in water, using default
force fields and settings), a vlimit error should be very rare.
