Hi Gustavo,

I had vlimit problem too, but my case was a little bit different. I used

SolvateOct methane TIP3PBOX 8.0

to solvate the solute. And when I tried to heat the system (or
equilibrate), I had this vlimit problem. It seems that I had to solvate
the system with a 12.0 A thickness to get rid of vlimit problem. Maybe
that is the reason in your case too; you should increase the thickness of
the solvent shell.

Good luck,

PS: How is your sander input file?
