reax

Hello,

I want to simulate a nanoparticle and polymer with reaxff

after I run the scrip this error apear:

Hello Mari,

A quick reply.

The first thing you shall check is whether there is a reasonable ReaxFF force field to describe your system. Secondly, from what you posted (Step 0, ‘nan’ for pressure, potential energy, …), you might have a terrible initial configuration.

Best,

Paul
