Dear Sir, Here's the result of three different runs :
Temperature distribution for three trials Repeat-1 280 298 317 337 359 382 406 432 460 489 520 554 589 627 Repeat-2 280 299 319 340 363 388 414 441 471 503 536 572 611 Repeat-3 280 300 322 345 370 397 426 457 490 526 564 605 649 md.log files output from three different trials: Repeat-1 .37 .28 .26 .30 .25 .29 .32 .35 .32 .35 .36 .32 .31 Repeat-2 .30 .33 .30 .25 .19 .27 .30 .31 .27 .40 .34 .31 Repeat-3 .18 .22 .26 .34 .26 .28 .25 .27 .27 .25 .27 .22 I think as the required acceptance value all the three trials are fine, but trail 3 would be much better to continue the further runs and anlysis ?? So, is it fine to continue with the third simulation ?? But still the problem is that I am not getting the exact graphs with xmgrace??
