[DFTB-Plus-User] Molecules being separated during MD

[Ben Hourahine]

Hello Sharma,

the initial geometry in input.xyz does not seem to have been optimised
for the DFTB3 model. So one possibility is that it is the energy stored
in the structure coming out during the MD run. I'll start it off from a
relaxed geometry and see what happens.

Regards

Ben
