Re: [AMBER] temperature not reaching target value in heating simulation

In cases like this, a quick flail is often more revealing than reasoned
reading of the manual followed by meditation and a dive into the code,
so what if you try

a) setting tempi=0 (see manual)

b) setting temp0 in the main part, just in case the code expects it

c) remove the warming and cold-start at 300K just to see what happens,
my 1st idea
