Hi Pijush,

Thanks for the solution. It worked perfectly fine. I
would like to know if there is some points that has to
be kept in mind while doing SMD. Like the basis of
selection of the smdatom and fixedatom points. Can we
give more than one smdatom for simulation?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ragothaman
