Hi!!

I am starting to play with namd, and from a small search on the list
archives, I have read that one of the parameters to look during an energy
minimization is the "Gradient Tolerance" as this is a good measure of the
system convergence...
However, I still have a couple of very basic questions:

What does the gradient tolerance measure? Is the Gradient tolerance related
to changes on energy, RMS, max derivative?

I wonder if is possible to implement this on a configuration file, to
mimimize the system for X steps or until gradient tolerance is <=Y ???

Thanks for your help,

Luis Rosales
