[gmx-developers] Why is not the thermostat used in the first step?

Hello,

I see that in the first step the thermostat is not used.

This is a problem when one wants to equilibrate a system where
molecules overlap. Using a Berendsen thermostat with a time constant
of timestep/10 would allow to remove overlaps for these systems.

Thanks,

Ramon
