Thanks a lot for your reply. I tried timestep 1 before your reply and
the job was running fine without giving any error. But the structure
become distorted, it squeezes along z axis. Now according to your
reply I am fix the langevin temp to zero and heating the system
gradually by loop. This part is given below:
# gradual temp increase
run 1000
for { set TEMP 0 } { $TEMP <= 290 } {incr TEMP 1 } {
langevinTemp $TEMP
run 1000
I hope this will not disturb the structure.
Any suggestion from your end would be appreciated.
