Hi all
       I was trying to heat my system with Temperature reassignment method.

# Minimization

run 120000 ;# 120ps
I was running my simulation for 120000 time step and theoretically this
script should assign the temperature of 300 K at 120000th time step.
although it is assigning the temperature of 300 K at 120000th time step but
after that temperature of the system keeps on decreasing up to 250 K. what
should i do to maintain the temperature of system at 300 K.
(I was thinking that since i am restarting my simulation at 10000 time step
so this script will automatically assign temperature of my system to 25 K at
the bigining of simulation. so 300 K will reach at 110000th time step and
there will be 10000 time step to equilibrate my system at 300 K.)
How can i maintain my system temperature at 300 K once it reached in
simulation without using langevin dynamics temperature control (since i am
using Temperature  reassignment for temperature  control, i can not use
langevian dynamics.)
thank you for help.
