Hi, I did a little test and I answered myself to the previous question. I changed the size of the chain for the calculation of the average of dH / dlambda (in this case I used a lambda of 0.56). I did time average ranging from 5 to 800ps and it seems that convergence is achieved in 500ps. I show this link ( http://cromo.ufabc.edu.br/~fileti/web/teste.jpg) another test, done with a simulation of 60ps and the other with simulations of 500ps. The difference is really significant. Thank you eef
