hi,
My question is about dangerous builds. What is
meaning of dangerous builds? This error show that my
simulation is wrong.
Thanks.

Dilek,
Dangerous builds indicate a small skin when executing your simulation: LAMMPS rebuilds your neighbor list before it was expected to do so, hence the term “dangerous”. You can increase the skin by
neighbor skin style
where skin is a number related to the units of your system, typically O(1) for not too mobile LJ systems. The default for style is bin, so that a neighbor command for a typical LJ simulation could read
neighbor 0.5 bin
You can play around with the skin value to remedy the dangerous build message.

Reduce the neigh_modify delay parameter and you should
eliminate them. They don't necessarily mean any thing is
bad, just that you could possibly have missed pairwise interactions.
