Re: How to calculate the temperature for a subset of my simulation

Dear NAMD users

After using the right files (.veldcd). The script generated values that are
also incorrect. After running the script I got values like this:

nDoF: 481968, esum: 638805356005.8174
Frame: 201 ## Temp: 4.08764523

Please, what am I missing?

Sincerely
