Lost atoms

when I run my simulation,I am facing an Error

I try to change many things, but this error is continuing.
If you know what the problem is, please let me know.

Thanks

nobody can tell from this information without a crystal ball.
typically, this kind of error happens when you have a bad initial
structure, e.g. due to overlapping atoms or a bad potential or too
large a timestep or alike.

axel.

And see doc/Section_errors.html of the manual

for an explanation and ideas about how to fix it.
