Hi Hasan,
Not sure about DX, DU and DUDX. However, you can verify whether your system
has minimized well by looking at the "TOTAL" energy (I believe it is column
12 in the lines beginning with ENERGY). If it has stabilized, then you are
good to get started. Usually 10000 steps provides enough minimization.
Chitrak.
