[AMBER] LINMIN Error while minimizing

Dear Amber users,


I am trying to perform a minimization for a system set up with POL3
water box and ff02 force fields. It has 24 Ca2+ and 20 Cl- ions.

While performing a restrained minimization with the code below, I get a
LINMIN error. From previous posts in the mailing list, people have
continued with their simulations despite the error. But in my case, the
minimization stops completely. The minimization which has 4000 steps, stops
in 200 steps. If this is because of bad contacts, what can I do to remove
it? Is there any way to proceed after this?


Minimization code:

Minimization with Cartesian restraints for the solute

 &cntrl

  imin=1, maxcyc=400, ncyc=100, ntc=2, ipol=1,

  ntpr=50, ntr=1

 $end

Group input for restrained atoms

500.0

RES 1 172

END

END


Error:
