Urgent Problem with Martini Tutorial.! was created by yipy0005
While attempting the tutorial, at the equilibration step I received this error message:

One of the box vectors has become shorter than twice the cut-off length or box_yy-|box_zy| or box_zz has become smaller than the cut-off.

What can I do to resolve this?

Hi, really really appreciate your prompt reply. The tutorial I'm talking about is the "Soluble protein: the Martini description" at md.chem.rug.nl/cgmartini/index.php/proteins#martini when I tried to execute this command:

grompp -f equilibration.mdp -c minimization.gro -p system.top -o equilibration.tpr

=D

You sure it's this command? Or during a mdrun... If it is, check your box size (last line), it might be wrong in your minimization.gro.

I found the error to be the box size given by the tutorial to be too small. I changed it from 1.5 to 5 and it worked well again. =)

Check the density of your system... Can't have vacuum in there.
For what system did you make that change?

It was for the ubiquitin protein from the tutorial.

What happen to the box dimensions during the following simulation? You can extract it from your .edr file with g_energy. Check the extend of the decrease... And check for vacuum bubble by visualize your system with VMD or whatnot.
