Thanks for your reply. But sometimes I found that the liquid water dynamics
simulation without SHAKE would give more reasonable result, so I would
prefer to use SHAKE.
 And, if it would make a difference when I set the Gamma_ln to a larger
value (5.0 for instance) ? And, if I want to use the Andersen thermostat
instead, what proper value of vrand should set ? I see few people use the
Andersen thermostat, are there any disadvantages for this thermostat ?
