Hello David,
Thanks a lot for your reply! I followed what you suggested.
I turned off plumed by setting plumed = 0, but I saw the same kind
of twisting of molecule during the simulation.
What possible problem could lead to such unphysical twisting?
Any other suggestions? Thanks so much!
All the best,
Qinghua
