[Chimera-users] simulation of 40 ns using the Chimera program

[SEFA ÇELİK]

Dear Dr.
*I want to do a simulation of 40 ns using the Chimera program*. What values
should I use for this? For example, when I choose 200000 steps for
equilibrate and 200000 steps for production phase, the result is 40000
frames. That is, *N = 10 *and 40000 * 10 = 400000 fs ie 400 ps = 0.4 ns .
But I want to do the calculation for 40 ns.
I'm looking at other runtime options, *N = 10*.
Can you give some values for a simulation of 40 ns?

Can you help with this? Could you explain in detail?
Best regard
Assoc Prof. Dr. Sefa Celik
