   - Take a look at the file ELEMENT_opt_unit.xyz with vmd. Visualize it on the screen, and try to reproduce the figure similar to the one on the last slide of the lectures of today. Include the pbc box, create a representation with vdw, periodic images, rotate the sample, etc. Produce a snapshot and include the file in your assignment.   - Take a look at the file ELEMENT_opt_unit.xyz with vmd.

-Now, starting from the restart of this simulation, we equilibrate the system in nve, and we move all particles. But again some parameters needs to be specified in the file nve.inp.
