Dear NAMD users,
I am trying to find out what the internal units in namd are. I need the information because I am using the PLUMED plugin which uses these units in its input files. I couldn't find a definite answer anywhere. I guess the units stated in section 3.2.3 of the user manual are not the units used internally (they are not consistent).
>From what I could gather (PDBVELFACTOR and TIMEFACTOR) it seems that the length unit is [0.997 Angstrom] and the time unit is [48.8 fs]. Is that right? And what about the other units (mass, temperature, charge)? A table with the units in the user guide would be welcome.
Thanks!
Niklaus
