My question is bit confusing but please have a look.
At firstI am slowly heating the protein by 5 kelvin each for 2.5ps till 300K
and then equilibrating it for 1 ns.

My input during heating is

 2.5ps MD equilibration on protein
&cntrl
 imin = 0,
 irest = 0,
 ntx=1,
 ntb=1,
 cut = 10,
 tempi = 0.0,
 temp0 = 5.0,
 ntt = 3,
 nstlim = 2500, dt = 0.001,
 ntpr = 2500, ntwx = 2500, ntwr = 2500
/

But the kinetic energy is showing zero.
           A V E R A G E S O V E R 1 S T E P S


 NSTEP = 2500 TIME(PS) = 150.000 TEMP(K) = 72.83 PRESS =

 Etot = -169111.4515 EKtot = 8255.9104 EPtot =

 EELEC = -255480.1077 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =

 BOND = 0.0000 ANGLE = 0.0000 DIHED =
0.0000
 1-4 NB = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 VDWAALS =

 EELEC = 0.0000 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 Ewald error estimate: 0.0000E+00
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 during the equilibration my initial ouput is

200ps MD equilibration on protein
&cntrl
 imin = 0,
 irest = 1,
 ntx = 5,
 ntb = 2,
 ntp=1,
 taup=5.0,
 cut = 10,
 ntc = 2,
 ntf = 2,
 tempi = 300.0,
 temp0 = 300.0,
 ntt = 3,
 gamma_ln = 1.0,
 nstlim = 200000, dt = 0.001,

I am getting this output and kinetic energy not zero here

 NSTEP = 2500 TIME(PS) = 152.500 TEMP(K) = 274.17 PRESS =
 -840.6
 Etot = -117506.9692 EKtot = 21092.5993 EPtot =

 NSTEP = 5000 TIME(PS) = 155.000 TEMP(K) = 293.01 PRESS =
-1051.4
 Etot = -112394.8154 EKtot = 22541.8474 EPtot =
-134936.6629
 BOND = 562.8501 ANGLE = 1489.2243 DIHED =

 1-4 NB = 589.4253 1-4 EEL = 5808.5192 VDWAALS =

and the final ouput after equilibration is

Why after heating it is showing Zeroes and whats the effect.I am running
everything at constant pressure as from the values we see
constant volume not the constant pressure but the density plot is constant.
There are no zero values for Kinetic energy and all. Is there something
wrong and where I am going wrong.If any other files are require
please let me know. And I am still not sure of the constant pressure
although it was explained earlier.
Thanks in advance.
