Hi again,

I was a bit fast with my last reply. NAMD accepted the wrapAround
keyword in the dihedral block, but the results are still the same as
without using "wrapAround 180" when using 0 to 360 degrees instad of
-180 to 180:

colvars: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
colvars: Initializing a new collective variable.
colvars: # name = eprof
colvars: Initializing a new "dihedral" component.
colvars: # componentCoeff = 1 [default]
colvars: # componentExp = 1 [default]
colvars: # period = 0 [default]
colvars: # wrapAround = 180
colvars: # oneSiteSystemForce = off [default]
colvars: Initializing atom group "group1".
colvars: Atom group "group1" defined, 1 initialized: total mass = 1.008.
colvars: Initializing atom group "group2".
colvars: Atom group "group2" defined, 1 initialized: total mass = 12.011.
colvars: Initializing atom group "group3".
colvars: Atom group "group3" defined, 1 initialized: total mass = 12.011.
colvars: Initializing atom group "group4".
colvars: Atom group "group4" defined, 1 initialized: total mass = 1.008.
colvars: All components initialized.
colvars: # width = 1
colvars: # lowerBoundary = 0
colvars: # lowerWallConstant = 10
colvars: # lowerWall = 0 [default]
colvars: # upperBoundary = 360
colvars: # upperWallConstant = 10
colvars: # upperWall = 360 [default]
colvars: Lower wall and upper wall are equal in the periodic domain
of the colvar: disabling walls.
colvars: # expandBoundaries = off [default]
colvars: # extendedLagrangian = off [default]
colvars: # outputValue = on [default]
colvars: # outputVelocity = off [default]
colvars: # outputSystemForce = on

colvars: Collective variables initialized, 1 in total.
