Dear all,

I have a CNT system. I have set the mdp file as follows, but the
temperature output is logically more than what I expected even in the
production step(around 500k). I have changed the mdp file several times but
it doesn't work. What are the possible causes of problem?
Thank you!

Plain cutoffs introduce serious artifacts. It appears from the tc-grps below that you have just a CNT in vacuo? If this is the case, you should be using infinite cutoffs (rlist=rcoulomb=rvdw=0)

rcoulomb            = 0.9
rvdw                =  0.9
rvdw_switch         =  0.5
vdwtype             =  switch

These cutoffs seem totally arbitrary to me; they probably aren't conserving energy well and you're getting heating from artifacts.
