Hi Thomas,
    I output PDB files for each frame. interesting thing is when I
choose the option "new cartoon" in vmd, then the figure disappears.
But when i created the pdb file from the last rst file, it looks
reasonable while I visualize in VMD. What puzzles me, why these 3rd &
4th frame only give absurd rmsd irrespective of ntwx=1 or ntwx=50.
Thanks
