Hi,
You can't have ret_t=0 with Nose-Hoover.
We should add a check for this.
Cheers,

> While doing some verification, I tried to simulate a harmonically bound
> diatomic molecule where one of the atoms is coupled to a thermal reservoir
> held at zero Kelvin (a thermal "drain" or "sink"). The initial conditions
> were such that the atom coupled to the bath starts from rest and the other
> has some initial velocity (set in conf.gro). I notice that while the
> initial velocities are read in properly, the velocities in subsequent
> time-steps are far smaller, and continue to fluctuate among these smaller
> values (by small I mean a difference of two orders of magnitude, when the
> initial velocity was 1 nm/ps). This is also visible in a sudden drop in
> the kinetic energy and temperature immediately after the first time step.
> The problem is that I've set COMM=None.Is there a separate mechanism which
> subtracts velocities after the beginning of the first time-step? This does
> not happen when there is no coupling to the thermal bath.
