Trying to calculate a structure using sa.inp script and the energy in the cooling loop increases instead of going down.

In the end there is a message

****&&&& rerun job with smaller timestep (i.e., 0.003)

But making the timestep smaller does not help. Could anyone suggest where to look?

edit: I've also commented out my restrains thinking that maybe my noe's are too whacky, but still structure diverges.

Thanks!

Found the source of this issue. My starting geometry was very much off the chart.
