Hello.
I am trying to simulate the SMD tutorial file. downloaded from
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/namd/namd-tutorial-files/3-1-pullcv/

I have load the configuration file in NAMDgui.

my configuration :

outputName final
set temperature 310
coordinates ubq_ww_eq.pdb
structure ubq.psf
temperature $temperature

cellBasisVector1 30.0 0.0 0.0
cellBasisVector2 0.0 34.0 0.0
cellBasisVector3 0.0 0.0 35.0

wrapWater on
wrapAll on

# Integrator Parameters
timestep 2.0 ;# 2fs/step
rigidBonds all ;# needed for 2fs steps

#PME (for full-system periodic electrostatics)

PME yes
PMEGridSpacing 1.0

# Constant Temperature Control

langevinTemp $temperature
langevinHydrogen no ;# don't couple langevin bath to hydrogens

# Constant Pressure Control (variable volume)
useGroupPressure yes ;# needed for 2fs steps
useFlexibleCell no ;# no for water box, yes for membrane
useConstantArea no ;# no for water box, yes for membrane

langevinPiston on

# Fixed Atoms Constraint (set PDB beta-column to 1)

--------------------------------------------

when i load this namd config file it gives a warning msg in TKconsol

-----------------------------

I have checked the SMD file, it is correct in beta and occupancy column.

though i carry the simulation it simulate without giving any error, but at
the end no smd simulation shown in log file.

Please find the actual problem and give a reasonable answer.

Thank you
