Hello Everyone
Thanks Norman for the information.
I am not sure about what you are suggesting. Normally what I did in CHARMM
was heating and equilibration my system for 1ns and 1ns each and I would
then have a .res file at the end of the equilibration which I would then use
to start my actual PRODUCTION run of 1ps each for a total of say 10,000
steps giving me 10ns of production run and I would say .res file at each 1ps
and start over from that new .res file for another 1ps and so on.
This was all being managed through a BASH SHELL SCRIPT.
Looking at the config file of NAMD ,I though something similar could be done
in NAMD as well.
Is it?
All I want is some easy way to run my MD for a good 100ns and save PDBs for
each 1ps.
Please advise further
Best regards
Babban
