Re: Regarding ABF Simulation

Jagan, if you ruining ABF in NAMD 2.7b1, you should make separate file
for ABF input (see below) and add only

Colvars on
colvarsConfig name of colvar config. file (syntax given below)

Likely that you run ABF at 2.6, so try to change

"set ABFdir ./abf-1.8
source ./abf-1.8/abf.tcl"

with

"source ./abf-1.8/abf.tcl
package require abf"

And check do you have really /abf-1.8/abf.tcl where you define in input.

Hope this help.

Colvar definition for distance between two group of atoms:

colvarsTrajFrequency 1
colvarsRestartFrequency 10000
analysis on

colvar {

   name d

   lowerBoundary number - minimal expected in Angstroms
   upperBoundary number -maximal expected in Angstroms
   width 0.01

   distance {
       group1 {
          atomnumbers atom niumber(s)
       }
       group2 {
          atomnumbers atom number(s)
       }
   }
}

abf {
   colvars d
   fullSamples 500
   hideJacobian no
   outputFreq 1000
   applyBias yes
}
