Just as an addendum to that, under the hood namdenergy is basically just
doing what you are here. Your problem is the repeated calling of
coordinates, which should be taken outside of the loop. You should have the
coordinates for all of your frames in a single dcd file, which is specified
by the 'coorfile open dcd' statement. Also, do you need to be updating the
selections for the interaction every step or not?
This type of calculation is quite easy to set up with namdenergy, and if
you do so in debug mode, you can look at the resulting tcl script to see
what is happening.
Best,
Peter
