Car-Parrinello MD calculation problem


Click here for full thread
Just Got Here
Dear All
I'm trying to perform a Car-Parrinello calculation on a box of benzene molecules. I'm using pspw for structural optimization of the moeclues before running MD simulation. However, when I look at the optimized structure of the simulation box, it seems that all of the benzene molecules have been broken and their C and H atoms have been separated. Please guide we how can I solve this problem. I appreciate you help. My input file is as follows:
