Hi,
What could be the problem of "step xxxxxxxx: Water molecule starting at atom xxxxx can not be settled. Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep if appropriate." (*update: completed normally with Core Status=64(100)*).

The message appear at Linux console but not the log. Here is the screen shot:

did a Google search for the error message and found this: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15748&start=0

Most posts with the same message ended with error. But in my case it completed with Core Status=64(100) and I got points from it. Does it means that WU has recovered from the error? Or I have submitted a corrupted WU?

I don't know. It certainly looks like it managed to recover.

I'll forward this question to the researcher and see if we can get a real answer.

I think it's interesting that all of the step numbers are even. Maybe it was resolved in the intervening steps.

Thanks Bruce.
