I should add that this method, while it can get the system warmed
to 300K successfully, no longer seems to be the consensus. My
impression of the consensus is that one warms NVT with cartesian
restraints, which allows the artificial water and ion placement
to relax in a low-density regime, then one switches to NPT to
equilibrate density, perhaps removing restraints in the process.
(With NPT, restraints should be scaled with the system, is this done?)
I think this equilibration more methodically solves the equilibration
problem than warming with NPT.
