Dear Amber ,
thank you Ross!
it worked
the force was too ohigh
if i decrease its doing good
but when time goes on
the current rmsd value is not changing
too much it stays to a particular value
and after that the rmsd is not decreasing !
what one have to check for it !

if one like to mask the atoms of his interest
suppose i would like to mask 21-30 or
some specific of like 2,3,8,40
how to give the flag in the
mask option

thanks in advance
balaji
