Hello Priya,
I’ve done that before, what I did was that each structure was treated as a starting frame in a new MD simulation. So you will have 40 new short trajectories. In your case you should use the rst7 format files to start, and not PDB format. cpptraj will give you that.
From the new rst7 files, run the minimization first (gradually releasing restraints), and then the standard short equilibration at room temp if that’s desired.
Hope it is helpful.
