Re: RAMD Setting parameter TclForces from script failed

From: Francesco Pietra (chiendarret_at_gmail.com)

Vlad:
In namd conf file there is

# constraints
colvars on # provide a a colvarsConfig (and colvarsINput if restart)
colvarsConfig ./CLA-ligands_colvars_press01.in

There is nothing to this concern in the .in file. it is this "colvars
on" that should call a tlc and I hope that the experts will suggest a
simple way to have colvars and ramd not fight one against the other
(or they find that I have simple blurred things).

cheers
francesco
