[gmx-users] Potential energy increases

[Ken Rotondi]

The potential energy is a function of the system temperature. As David 
stated earlier today, the product of energy min. is a structure likely 
populated near 0K. If you ran your simulation at a higher temperature 
then you did, you'd see that it would take longer to reach a stable 
potential energy. So, your result is quite correct.
