Energy minimization not happening – User discussions

Back Off! I just backed up em.log to ./#em.log.7#
Compiled SIMD: None, but for this host/run AVX2_256 might be better (see log).
The current CPU can measure timings more accurately than the code in
gmx mdrun was configured to use. This might affect your simulation
speed as accurate timings are needed for load-balancing.
Please consider rebuilding gmx mdrun with the GMX_USE_RDTSCP=ON CMake option.

Energy minimization has stopped, but the forces have not converged to the
requested precision Fmax < 1500 (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.

Double precision normally gives you higher accuracy, but this is often not
needed for preparing to run molecular dynamics.

writing lowest energy coordinates.

Polak-Ribiere Conjugate Gradients converged to machine precision in 82 steps,
but did not reach the requested Fmax < 1500.

Hi ,I am working on cysteine adsorption Au surface so i am tried to energy minimisation it giving this error again and again energy minimisation has stopped,i tried everything changing integrator, to emtol,rvdw still error has occuring. Pls help me I am stuck for a long time,dont know whats getting error.
