Thanks for your response Jerome.
I also tried using "period" and "wrapAround" options with "period 50" and
"wrapAround 0.0" (basically the default value of wrapAround) in distanceZ
and I used the unwrapped coordinates for the walls positions, i.e.
"lowerWall 20" and "upperWall 30". It seems that it's working too, is that
a legit treatment of the problem or not? (btw, I'm using a dummy atom as a
reference group at position (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) )
One more question:
I'm actually doing a 1D ABF calculation and my reaction coordinate is Z
direction of the cartesian system. But in order to limit the simulation in
x and y directions I'm defining two other reaction coordinates, x and y.
The sole application of these two reaction coordinates are for using their
"lowerWall" and "upperWall" options to enforce the molecule remains in the
desired window in x and y directions but I'm not using them in free energy
calculation part of abf, i.e. just using "colvars z" in the abf part of the
config file. I was wondering if this is a right way of confining the
molecule in the directions that I'm not doing free energy calculations?
Cheers,
Kasra.
