[lammps-users] help for odd result

Dear,

When I do coarse-gained bead spring model of polyelectrolyte(PE), I get the result that the distance of monomer -monomer ,cation- cation and others is shorter than 0.1.

I simulate the LJ liquid system with a polymer. There are 20000 particles and density is about 0.8, and reduced temperature is 1.0 maintained by Nose-hoover thermostat. The charge of PE monomer is -0.8, coion is +/ - 1. The distance and code are as follows.

Is the result right? What does it matter? Could some experts give me a hand?

Thanks in advance!

The FENE bond should not allow 2 monomers to approach
that closely.
