I don't see any immediate answer, but a few things to consider:
- don't specify the same input variable twice (like with nmropt). You'll
end up changing one and not the other and get unexpected results.
- using both positional and distance restraints at the same time can be
bad, especially if they don't both match the initial structure. There is
usually no reason to do both.
read the entire beginning of the mdout file, not just the energies part.
What does it say about your requested temperature changes? Does it look
correct?
