Hi, dear all

In my simulation, I found the the vdw energy always have a larger
(10-30 kcal/mol) fluctuation than the Etot, EPtot..., I guess there might
be some bad contact in my system. I know anal module can handle this task,
so I performed a test run. My input and output file are as below.

My question is how to find bad contact from the output information? And it
is right way to do that? Thanks for your time.
