the velocity of the particle is different from the results of visualization

[Vladimir Rybkin]

Dear author,

Generally, the particle will travel 0.4 angstrom in 1 fs if no forces act 
on it (Newton's first law). In genaral, in atomistic systems the forces are 
not zero.
what was you time step? Could you provide the whole input (at least $subsys 
and $MD)?

Yours,

Vladimir
