Thank you, Evan for your assistance.
I shall set the tau values as you suggested.
Yes I looking for calculation of energies after my simulation is complete
successfully.
I will reduce the time step and make changes in the algorithm as you have
suggested.
Thank you very much for your help.

Sincerely,
Deep
