Hello,
Getting back to some work I did last year with metadynamics. Hardware has been updated since then as well as the version of namd.
I have scanned the email list for the error described below but have not found anything yet. I know that there has been a fair amount of work in the colvars modules in between namd.10 and namd2.12. Perhaps I just need to alter a keyword. The colvar output is below:
