dear hamid,
if you don't get an answer, then usually for a reason.
perhaps nobody thought that your question was
worth answering, perhaps people thought the answer
is too obvious, perhaps people didn't understand
the question, perhaps nobody knows an answer.
the remedy for each of these is that *you* have
to think more about your problem, work harder
and come up with a better/simpler question instead
of complaining about not getting any. complaining
only makes it _less_ likely to get a qualified answer.

well, like the saying goes: if the cap don't fit, don't wear it.

this is a question that is best answered by studying
the literature. it looks to me that you are very confused
about what a coarse grain model can do and what not.
it is pointless to study something that cannot be properly
represented with a model you chose. you wouldn't want
to use a classical force field to study bond breaking,
or would you?

my advice: get busy learning the method and its background
before actually starting something that may be a waste of time.
