<div>I've been trying to familiarize myself with the Gromacs
codebase over the past couple weeks and have figured out
various control flows.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My question is in reference to the energy minimization step
via "<font face="monospace">do_steep</font>", which calls "<span style="font-size:9pt"><font face="monospace">evaluate_energy</font></span>".
Am I correct in understanding that this is the only function
which calculates the potential energy of a topology state? It
appears that this function is very tightly coupled with the
multi-threading system and hence the concern.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My aim is to build a C wrapper around this function but
that will only be possible if I can get a bare bones energy
estimator from the topology.</div>

<div>Apologies for any technically incorrect statement, I don't
actually have a Molecular Dynamics background.</div>

You should not invoke the energy minimizer at all. The process you
want to carry out is best done with mdrun -rerun and a .tpr file
that specifies zero MD steps:<br>
