Hi Norman, Thank you for the reply. I haven't explained myself properly. I am not sure I completely understand the energy terms reported in the aMD output. In aMD the potential and dihedral energies are corrected by a boost potential when the energy crosses a threshold E: V*=V+deltaV where deltaV=E-V)^2/(alpha+E-V) and alpha is the acceleration. - In the ENERGY lines: are the energies reported before or after the correction? (V* or V?). - I assume the dV is the deltaV. Is this dV for the total energy or for the dihedral? What is the difference between dV and dVAVE? - Also, I am noticing right now that the ELECT, VDW and POTENTIAL terms in the aMD output line are quite different from the ENERGY output line. I am not sure what these terms indicate. I guess if I could get more details about the meaning of these reported energies, that would help me understand how the energy landscape is being modified; and at which stages of the dynamics the boost potential is applied or not applied.

Is there anyway to see from the output file when the aMD component is turned one and off? I am running aMD in "dual" mode with and NPT system in explicit solvent.   My average total and dihedral energies as calculate from preliminary conventional MD are: ave Edihe = 2,517.1 ave Edihe = -218,994.7   And the aMD parameters: accelMDE 4549 accelMDalpha 406 accelMDTE -205466 accelMDTalpha 13528   This is how my output looks like: ACCELERATED MD: STEP 20090000 dV 106.786 dVAVG 119.229 BOND 1778.28 ANGLE 4710.7 DIHED 4280.65 IMPRP 304.643 ELECT -39778.9 VDW -5911.43 POTENTIAL -34616.1   ETITLE: TS BOND ANGLE DIHED IMPRP ELECT VDW BOUNDARY MISC KINETIC TOTAL TEMP POTENTIAL TOTAL3 TEMPAVG PRESSURE GPRESSURE VOLUME PRESSAVG GPRESSAVG ENERGY: 20090000 1778.2756 4710.7004 4280.6514 304.6426 -305465.4314 24839.6723 0.0000 0.0000 53507.4691 -216044.0201 310.5189 -269551.4891 -215872.3828 309.8437 -44.6743 16.3590 837465.3377 -2.7721 -2.8359   Thanks in advance for any useful comments,   Alex ________________________________ Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast!
