Once the kinetic and potential energies fluctuate around constant values and other key properties are no longer changing with time, the equilibration period has reached its end.

In general, if any observed properties still exhibit a systematic trend with respect to simulation time (e.g. Figure~\ref{equilibration}) this should be taken as a sign that equilibration is not yet complete.

Depending on the target ensemble for production, the procedure for the end of equilibration is somewhat different.

If an NVE simulation is desired, the thermostat may be removed and a snapshot selected that is simultaneously as close to the average kinetic and potential energies as possible.
