Hello Osvalds, if you have already a working configuration file for a
single replica metadynamics simulation, all you need to do is to make N
copies of that configuration file, changing the replica ID on each. You
would then run each replica independently from the others. The reason why
it doesn't work for you is that maybe you're creating a single file with
all of the replicas in it?
One note, because this is namd-l and not lammps-users: although the syntax
of what you're doing is the same in NAMD and in LAMMPS, in NAMD there are
also available implementations of replica exchange and bias exchange
methods as Tcl code, i.e. with a different syntax that is available in NAMD
only.
