Dear D Case and M. L. Dodson,

*Thank you* very much for your advices. It *works well* after using the set
command in LEaP to add the box information. And I run a min and then run a
constant pressure PME dynamics (1 atm ). I plotted the density over the
trajectory. The density must be 0.7636 g/ml. The min.in and md.in files are
in below. I attached the density graph to the mail. I'm planning to run a
constant volume to equilibrate the temperature as you said to me. I want to
learn if the operations I did are true ? What do you think about that ? What
do you suggest to me ? And I also want to make analysis without using ptraj.
So I want to learn the structure of the output files ( restrt, mdcrd, mdvel,
mden ) and meaning of the colums and rows in the output files. Can I easily
learn the informations of the atom's xyz coordinates, velocities and
accelerations in any time step and pressure tensors ? Or Should I write a
script in order to get these informations ? And I want to ask a question.
For example

NSTEP = 2000 Density = 0.7636

.

.

.

 NSTEP = 2500 Density = 0.7689

I want to get the output informations for NSTEP = 2000 in target Density =
0.7636 for input and start a md with little time steps. Is it possible to do
this in Amber? If so, what should I do to do this operation ?

Thanks in advance.
