The better approach to simulation is to understand what type of information you 
will need to answer whatever question it is that you're answering.  If you 
simply don't know what those terms are, any textbook on MD (or probably even 
basic physics) will explain them.  But again I must emphasize that it is of no 
use to you to blindly run analysis and then hope for something useful later.
