please upgrade to 3.2 first. There, mdrun and xmdrun have been merged,
and shell optimisation is done automatically if necessary.

minimzation of the shells is done at every time step. In the LP model
the shell is described as a normal particle with a small mass.

In which sim do you get large temperature increase? For SW you have to
set emtol to 0.1 kJ/mol and run in double precision.
