To avoid overlaps I use the soft potential as in the script. I could get the poiseuille flow with this same input file when the melt has less chains but as soon as the I increase the
number of chains it gives the error. I do not understand why is this. Played around with the
parameters of soft potential and tried energy minimization, but no success yet.
The next question is when I get a poiseuille flow with few chains, initially the chains are spread out in the channel. When the pressure is applied along the x-direction the chains start to come closer and finally form a clump leaving vast amount of channel empty. We want to fill the channel with uniform density. How can this be done? Any suggestions would be of great help.
