Yes I did simulated annealing and the transition was smooth.

If yes, you probably do not even need to cool down all the way to zero, by

I would probably equilibrate at 300K for more time. Although when I used
108 beads instead of 36 beads transition seem to more smooth.

Thanks again for all the suggestion.
