Fwd: Error in Minimization

Hi Josh...
Thanks for your answer. I want to study the behavior of bacteriorhodopsin in
a lipid membrane. First I prepared my system: put the protein in a solvate,
then in the lipid membrane and then remove extra atoms. I think that my
prepared system is ok (probably not, that's the reason I attached the tcl
script that I made). With my complete system I want to minimize it, then
warm it up to 300 degrees and then try to equilibrate the system.
When I ran the NAMD minimize script seems to be ok, but when it is finish I
look into the log file and the values never change. It seems like that:

*It seems like nothing change and in my opinion must change, am I right???.
Probably I am making something wrong but I spent a lot of time trying to fix
it but nothing happend. What you think??
