Hi all,

>From the Gromacs Manual -- 3.10.1 Steepest Descent -- The notation
max(|Fn|) means the largest of the absolute values of the force components.

Does this mean that  (1) for a specific atoms, the largest absolute value
of its force components, or (2) after vector addition of forces of each
atom in the system, find out the maximum force component in the system
force matrix Fn
