I used the mdrun -rerun option to recalculate the energies of the system and it gave me nearly the same energy plot but without the random drops(see plot below). I am still unsure what is causing the jumps but i do not believe it is from my system. Since the energy is used in the calculation for the next step, is there reason to worry about the validity of this run?
