Hi Soroush, considering this and the previous messages posted by you, a
friendly advice is the following: please sit down, breathe deeply, and
start reading about the fundamentals of MD and the technical documentation
of the basic features of NAMD or similar codes.
You mentioned earlier that "you are in a hurry", which obviously affects
your decisions.
You should keep in mind that NAMD (and other scientific codes) will only
raise an error for those conditions that make it impossible for them to
run. *In many cases, they will not raise errors if the input of the
simulation is technically functional but represents a completely unphysical
condition, which would be just as useless to you.*
Invest some time now: it will save you a lot of time later.
Giacomo
