Re: Harmonic Constrain like MMFP in CHARMM

ok, so I am trying to write a colvar config file (please see the attached),
and I also add these two lines to the main NAMD confg file:

colvars on
colvarsConfig rmsd

But when I run this, it gives me this error:

But NAMD crashes and exits, with this error message:

colvars: Error: no collective variables defined.
colvars: If this error message is unclear, try recompiling with
-DCOLVARS_DEBUG.
FATAL ERROR: Error in the collective variables module: exiting.

I don't understand why it doesn't recognize the colvar that I have declared?

Any idea?

thanks
