NAB reports thermodynamics from normal mode calculations just like nmode does.
So, you just take snapshots, minimize and compute modes in the same way,
then average the results from the various snapshots. It should be pretty
simple to modify mm-pbsa or pyAmber to handle the averaging, or you can just
do it by hand.
