Yes, they are all zeros. I am confused why this happen. Thank you for help.
And here is the mdp file:

That would confuse me, too. As I have never analyzed forces from a
energy minimization, perhaps there is the problem. Try a zero-step md,
meaning integrator=md and nsteps=0 and leave the further parameters
unchanged. In case you get forces in your analysis then, we have
discovered the source of error :)

And also another question, can Gromacs write out the energy for each atom at
each step? Just like it did to the forces? I use this mdp file and only see
the total energy for each step in the log file.
Thanks again.

 The nstfout =1 in mdout.mdp. So this should not be where the problem is.


So this was the most obvious mistake I could imagine and you see it is
always appreciated that you put your mdp file also to the list, that
everybody knows your input parameters. However in case you already told
gromacs to write out the data to the trr file it should be there.
So if you try:

 echo 0 | g_traj -f traj.trr -s topol.tpr -of
Only zeros are contained in force.xvg ??
