Is it possible to run MD without LES but with q-spcfw force field? I
have this question because my PBC system keeps exploding with ntb = 1
and with ntb = 2

Input files are -

for const volume:
   ntb = 1, ig = -1, ntx = 1, irest = 0, jfastw = 4, ntc = 1,
   ntf = 1
   temp0 = 300.0, ntt = 3, gamma_ln = 5.0, dt = 0.0002, nstlim =
50000, cut = 7.0
   ntpr = 50, ntwr = 50, ntwx = 50
for const press (same +):
    ntb = 2, ntp = 1, pres0 = 1.0, taup = 20.0

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "using LES to create pimd"?
As per manual: I used regular topology and coord. files and created
addles.in script for addles.
