Dear NAMD users,
Recently, I have been trying to run ABF simulations with RMSD as the
collective variables. I am using the following *.in file:
#rmsd.in
Colvarstrajfrequency 1000
Colvarsrestartfrequency 1000
colvar {
name RMSD
width 0.05
lowerboundary 0.1
upperboundary 1.25
lowerwallconstant 100.0
upperwallconstant 100.0
outputAppliedForce  on
rmsd {
atoms {
psfSegID P1
atomNameResidueRange  CA 1-159
atomsFile main_abf.pdb
atomsCol B
atomsColValue 1.0
}
refPositionsFile ref_abf.pdb
refPositionsCol B
refPositionsColValue 1.0
}
}
abf {
colvars RMSD
fullSamples 1000
}
I am getting the following error on NAMD 2.10 on a cluster :
colvars:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

colvars: # analysis = off [default]

I tried running the same script on NAMD 2.9 on my desktop. It does not give
me the same error. However, my Abf.colvar.state and abf.pmf files are empty
as follows:

Any suggestion to remove the error and help me get more clear on the
subject is highly appreciated.
