Thank you. There are no constraints. At high T atoms move faster but can you please describe a little more why higher velocity leads to higher non bonded energies between particles? As for bonded terms, is that correct to say higher velocities is equivalent to larger deviations from equilibrium state of bonds, angles and dihedrals leasing to higher potential energies?
