[gmx-users] rerun under non-bonded E. terms

Hi,

Sorry, actually, that won't help you get non-bonded *forces* since there is
no way to decompose them. You can decompose energies that way. To get the
forces you want, you need a .tpr that has only non-bonded interactions, and
to do that correctly, you will have to explicitly list the [exclusions]
that would otherwise be generated by the bonds, as Justin suggests. See
chapter 5.
