      <br>
      I use the following parameters to run MD of ethane in vacuo. Then
      I calculate the H-C-C-H dihedral angle distribution and from that
      the rotational energy barrier using the formula DeltG=-k*T*ln(x),
      where x is the dihedral value. The rotational energy barrier is
      correct (~ 12 kJ) with all-bond constraints, but not with h-bond
      or no bond constraints. Could anyone tell me which other
      parameters to tweak in order to get the correct dihedral angle
      distribution without any bond constraints.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks in advance.<br>

    This is too long if you are not using all-atom constraints. See
