Hi,

I have very general and basic questions considering NAMD. In the input you define timesteps, but you also define steps per cycle.

If I understand correctly, atoms will be moved to another place after x timesteps (defined in the cycle). Also, electrostatics and Van der Waals will be calculated once every y cycles, but that is a bit confusing for me. Why define the "steps per cycle" value, when you could just use the timesteps? Would it be bad if I used 1 step per cycle?

Best,

Tomek.
