Hello, I am trying to simulate SMD tutorial file ubq_ww_pcv. as describe in

"

my configure namd file

I have load the config file from NAMDgui.

When i run the simulation its running without giving any error, but in the
output log their were no sign of SMD simulation process.

as the tutorial file [namd tutorial : 3-1-pullcv] output log caontain :

( Info: FIXED ATOMS ACTIVE

Info: SMD ACTIVE

Info: SMD VELOCITY 0.005 ANGSTROM/TIMESTEP

Info: SMD DIRECTION 0.352418 0.402121 0.845044

Info: SMD K 7

Info: SMD OUTPUT FREQUENCY 10 TIMESTEPS

Info: SMD FILE ../common/ubq_ww_eq.ref)

When I run the same configuration file [ubq_ww_pcv.conf], but no such SMD
output in log file.

My package VMD:1.9.2, NAMD: NAMD_2.11_Win64-multicore;

Is there any solution or suggestion for fixing this problem.!!
