Dear NAMD users,

I am so confused by the manual about the update of the pair list of
non-bonded interactions.

If the followings are the simulation parameters, what is the update
frequency of the pair list of non-bonded interactions?

cutoff 12.
switching on
switchdist 10.
pairlistdist 13.5 # *Description:* A pair list is
generated pairlistsPerCycle times each cycle

timestep 1.0
rigidBonds all
nonbondedFreq 2
fullElectFrequency 4
stepspercycle 20 *# Description: * Number of timesteps in
each cycle. Each cycle represents the number of timesteps between atom
reassignments.
pairlistspercycle 2 # *Description: * Rather than only
regenerating the pairlist at the beginning of a cycle, regenerate multiple
times in order to better balance the costs of atom migration, pairlist
generation, and larger pairlists.

Thank you.
