Hi, Dan,
Thanks for your reply. But I have already done a long minimization run
prior to the production( of 250000 steps), and from the output file of the
minimization run it is clearly visible that the energy is becoming constant
for the minimization. But still I am facing this problem. And regarding the
cut off I was just following the tutorial for simulation of a DNA fragment
in implicit solvent, that is why I have choose 12 angstrom distance. Still
I will try with the keyword "cut=999.0".
Regards,
Avik
