Re: [AMBER] Instantaneous temperature in TI simulation

Hi Brian,

I think the problem you experienced has something to do with the way
that sander counts the number of degrees of freedom, on which
temperature calculation depends.

Taking your input file as an example, ME input generates a N.D.F. of
9397, but MEO input gives a N.D.F. of 9396. I think this difference is
the reason of a constant 0.03~0.04K difference in TEMP in your output.

Now one thing I have not fully understood is the way of counting the
number of degrees of freedom in the code, so cannot give you a
solution yet. Trying to get a bugfix soon, hopefully.

Thanks,
Qiantao
