Dear Amber Users!

I have followed Amber tutorial of the membrane protein modeling
embedded in Charmm-gui prepared membrane. On the 6ns of the
unrestrained equilibration my systems has been crashed with following
error:

ERROR: Calculation halted. Periodic box dimensions have changed too
much from their initial values.

  Your system density has likely changed by a large amount, probably from

  starting the simulation from a structure a long way from equilibrium.

Looking on the system I have found that membrane thickness was
increasing along Z direction.

Question: how long equilibration should be for membrane protein
embedded in charmm-gui prepared membrane ? I have checked a charmm-gui
default protocol and found that the proposed equilibration is very
short. Also they introduce a restraints on the lipids during
equilibration. Is it useful approach to make it shorter?

Thanks !

James
