Jerome & Giacomo-

Thanks so much! I'm glad it's a simple fix! :)

There is/was no particular reason I was using the oneSiteSystemForce,
thanks for the heads up.

Hi Bonnie,
You need to set the restartName parameter in your NAMD input.
Also, is there a particular reason for you to use oneSiteSystemForce?
If you are unsure, you probably don't need it.
