Hi Benjamin,
	MD calculation is a slow process, particularly for a large solvated system.  If you want visual feedback as the calculation progresses, check the "Live trajectory" box in the "other runtime options" setting under the "Run Parameters" tab.  To speed things (assuming you have multiple CPUs) you should also check the "Use multiple CPUs" box on that same page.

I set up the simulation and begin running it however, upon completion of the initial minimization I reach the "MMTK updated coordinates" step and heating.nc <http://heating.nc/> files appear on the desktop.  However, after this point the application has a (not responding) and there appears no be very little usage of the CPU.  I am unsure if something is going wrong or I have to simply wait longer as I see no indication of any pending process or status.  I am running Windows 10 and the CPU is a AMD Threadripper 3960x.
