The effect is a display of several "plateau"'s during the course of the system run. Just curious as to what causes that effect.

I would appreciate if you could post a pic of this graph. It is probably caused by 'truncation' of the energy function (which ensures it stays between 0 and 100).

Also, just to clarify, when people mention in this thread 'RMSD' - please indicate where you are getting this number from - I suspect some (many) of you are confusing RMSD with pseudo-energy, and the two are quite different. Right now the only place you can see your RMSD, I believe, is if you log in at the web site and view your personal stats.
