Hi, I am roughly following this tutorial

https://github.com/LHRK/Nanodisc-Builder

to create a nanodisc surrounded by an APOA1 protein. I have completed the initial steps and am now starting minimization, but receive many LINCS errors and this error:

Energy minimization has stopped, but the forces have not converged to the

requested precision Fmax < 10 (which may not be possible for your system). It

stopped because the algorithm tried to make a new step whose size was too

small, or there was no change in the energy since last step. Either way, we

regard the minimization as converged to within the available machine

precision, given your starting configuration and EM parameters.

I have tried a variety of different minimization parameters but all have led to the same error (tcoupling, no lincs parameters, added constraints etc.)

When I try to do an NVT equilibration, it states that the energy is too high to run, showing that the original file does have too much energy.

Here is my current minimization.mdp:

integrator = steep

dt = 0.01

nsteps = 50000

nstcomm = 100

comm-grps =

lincs-order = 8

lincs-iter = 1

lincs-warnangle = 360

constraints = none

cutoff-scheme = Verlet

rlist = 1.2

rvdw = 1.2

coulombtype = PME

fourierspacing = 0.3

rcoulomb = 2.5

and attached is the starting file. Does anyone have suggestions on how to edit the minimization or fix the gro file if this is the issue>
