[lammps-users] Problem running 2 chains Kremer-Grest polymer system.

Hi,

I am trying to run a 2 chain system, bead-spring polymer model. Trying
to run it in 3 stages: 1st soft potential, 2nd lj potential with
attractive and repulsive chains, 3rd all attractive chains. First
stage running well, but in second stage, FENE bonds become too long.
Following is the input file, can somebody please see what's wrong!!

Thanks,
Monojoy
