You have to remember, force is a vector. In this simple case where you are
pulling along one axis only, this is basically correct. Otherwise, you will
have to consider more carefully how you get the force.

simulation

Sorry , I didn't catch you mean very much .
    F=-grad U,and "spring force" can also calculated from multiply
the "spring constant(k)" and the "spring extention(d)".this result F=k*d.

    If I constrain the "atom1"on x axis ,apply SMD force on "atome1" by
setting SMDdir "1 0 0" ,so the "atom1" move along x axis.if "SMDVel"
were "v",smulation time were "t",the initial "atom1" coordinate were for
example {5 0 0},through time "t",its coordinate were for example {10 0 0},so

the "spring extention(d)" can calculate from equation :d=[vt-(10-5)].Here
came my question:can "SMD spring force" calculate from F=k*[vt-(10-5)]??
Thanks
