Hi,
The number of atoms depends on the energy term being measured
(bonds, angles, dihedrals, etc). This was a special feature added
to VMD in support of the older "paratool" force field parameterization
plugin. If you're interested in doing more sophisticated energy evaluations
you may prefer to use namdenergy at present. There may be another way of
computing energies in a future version of VMD depending on how developments
progress...
Cheers,
John Stone
