Hi Jhonatam,
Do the units make sense? I've never used a veldcd before, but mass *
velocity squared does not by default give you something in kcal/mol, and
I'm not sure if NAMD does any sort of conversion for you. That would be
the first place I'd look, since the rough idea behind the script
(temperature is related to kinetic energy) is sound.
