Thank you so much for your reply.Can you please tell me after how much time
the simulation will become stable.Because after 200 ns still the atomic
velocity is too fast and system becomes stable, am not getting any
reference from any paper about the equilibration time for residue base
coarse grained simulation in NAMD.
