The main difference between the analysis version of the NAMD script
and the original script used to run it is the removal of elements
related to temperature and pressure control - since there's no
dynamics being performed. Similarly, velocity information is lost,
since the DCD trajectory doesn't cover every timestep of the original
simulation. So the fact that the I don't get back my pressure,
temperature, or kinetic energy seems sensible enough. (I do get back
the same volume).
Can't think of any obvious reason why I should get a different efield
energy though...
I've appended my analysis script.
Thanks!
