TEMPERATURE

NAME
TEMPERATURE - Set the system temperature for the run
SYNOPSIS
TEMPERATURE  temp  dt
DESCRIPTION
The argument $temp$ is the target temperature for the simulation run. $dt$ is used only during the rejection phase (see command REJECT of environment &RUN) and indicates the temperature window in Kelvin outside which temperature scaling occurs. Scaling stands here for random initialization of the system velocities at temperature $temp$ according to a Gaussian distribution. System scaling in rejection phase occurs also during constant temperature simulations (see command THERMOS in &SIMULATION).
EXAMPLES
TEMPERATURE 300.0 50.0
WARNINGS
Work only during the rejection phase (see REJECT in environment &RUN).
