A small addition to the previous email. In mdin.3 I tried with tempi=300.0.
Still the result is the same.

Hi all,

After heating my system up to 300K with the mdin.2 input file (shown below)
I am trying to equilibrate my system at 300K (gradually removing
constraints) using mdin.3 input file (shown below). Instead of starting at
300K and proceeding at 300K the simulation starts at a temperature of 200K
and increases temperature at every step. I really cannot figure out why
that happens. I would really appreciate if you can suggest a solution.
Given below are my input scripts and the corresponding output.

mdin.2 (heating up in 6 picoseconds)

  nsnb=1,
  ntpr=100, ntwx=1000, ntwv=00,
  nstlim=6000, t=0.00, dt=0.00100,
  ntc = 2, ntf = 2,
  ntb = 0,
  ntt=1, temp0=010.0, tempi=010.0, tautp=0.001, vlimit=20.0,
  ntr = 1,
  cut = 12.0,
  dielc=1,
  nmropt=1

  eedmeth = 5,

 &wt type='TEMP0', istep1=00000, istep2=0500, value1=000., value2=010.,

mdin.3 (starting to remove constraints)
LPO

  dielc = 1
 &end
 &ewald
  eedmeth = 5,
 &end
Hold protein fixed
