Hi, David,
I have re-run the simulation as 05_Prod.in. This time it stopped at around 21 ns, and the restarted simulation stopped at 32 ns.
I have also run a simulation with an additional line "taup=2" to the 05_Prod.in file. This time the simulation finished at 125 ns.
For both situation the density and volume in the output file are maintaing stable during the simulation. And they do not change a lot near where it crashes for situation 1. However, the values are also strange since the system in fact is expanding shown in VMD. But the water molecules only expand along x- and y- direction. The final structure is like that two "plates" of water clamp the lipid cube.
Best regards,
Wang Wei
