what is simple or not depends a lot on your expectations, your skills,
and your experience. the *method* of classical MD *is* simple, but the
implementation may not always mirror that. particularly, lots of
features and good parallel performance come at a price.

this kind of statement is quite irritating. it means that either you
have not done your due diligence and properly informed yourself about
NAMD before deciding to work on it, or it means that your attitude
towards asking people for help is even worse that it appeared in your
previous post (i.e. that you are just looking for somebody that does
the thinking and work for you and voluntarily lets you have credit as
well).
