Dear David,

     Thank you very much.
     * A little modification to your first post. *
     "
     grompp_d -f cg -o cg
     mdrun_d -s cg* -o* conf.g96              --------------------->
mdrun_d -s cg *-c* conf.g96  (Use -o will only output *.trr)
     grompp_d -f nm -c conf.g96 -o nm
     mdrun_d -s nm
     g_nmeig_d
     "
     And when I used "integrator = nm" in *.mdp file and run "mdrun_d -s
nm". Gromacs said "Constraints present with Normal Mode Analysis, this
combination is not supported".
     Could give me some suggestion about that error?

     The commands I used is listed below:
     1.  *pdb2gmx_d -ignh -ff **gromos43a1 -f 1OMB.pdb -water spce -oconf.gro
-p topol.top*
     2.  *editconf_d -f **conf.gro -o BOX.gro -d 1.5*
     3.  *genbox_d -cp **BOX.gro -cs spc216 -o SOL -p topol.top*
     4.  *grompp_d -f **em.mdp -c SOL.gro -p topol.top -o em.tpr*
     5.  *mdrun_d -s **em.tpr  -deffnm em -c tx.g96 -v*  //Energy Min
     6.  *grompp_d* *-f *nm.mdp *-c* tx.g96 *-o* nm
     7.  *mdrun_d* *-s* nm   -----> A fatal error "Constraints present with
Normal Mode Analysis, this combination is not           supported"

*em.mdp*
define              =  -DFLEXIBLE
constraints         =  none
integrator          =  steep
dt                  =  0.002    ; ps !
nsteps              =  400
nstlist             =  10
ns_type             =  grid
rlist               =  1.0
coulombtype         =  PME
rcoulomb            =  1.0
vdwtype             =  cut-off
rvdw                =  1.4
optimize_fft        =  yes
;
;    Energy minimizing stuff
;
emtol               =  1000
emstep              =  0.01

---------------------------------------
*nm.mdp*
constraints         =  none
integrator          =  nm
dt                  =  0.002    ; ps !
nsteps              =  400
nstlist             =  10
ns_type             =  grid
rlist               =  1.2
coulombtype         =  PME-Switch
rcoulomb            =  1.0
vdwtype             =  Cut-off
rvdw                =  1.4


Thank you very much.

Shen.
