Hi all
I am trying to equilibrate my system at 310 K so i am using the
temperature reassignments parameter to gradually increase the temperature
of my system. but before that i have energy minimized structure for 10000
step. i am using the reassignment frequency of 1000 step. here is the
script.

now the problem is that NAMD is starting the simulation at 55 K instead of 5
K. I am thinking that perhaps it is reassigning the temperature at every
1000 time step as the script says but since i have already energy minimized
the structure for 10000 time step so NAMD is also taking in to account those
time steps. how should I change my script so NAMD starts my simulation at 5
K instead of at 55 K?
Thank you.
