Re: velocity error, still

Dear Bo,
have you viewed the resulting trajectory in VMD? Do you see anything
unusual happening, like an atom or group flying off? This still sounds
like an issue of a system not being minimized enough or something along
those lines. Also, I'd recommend trying with a timestep of 1 instead of 2.
