Hi Ali, see also:
http://colvars.github.io/colvars-refman-namd/colvars-refman-
namd.html#sec:colvar_atom_groups_wrapping
and in particular the following warning:
Warning: enabling wrapAll can lead to inconsistent results for Colvars
calculations: please disable wrapAll, as is the default option in NAMD.
that is printed in all recent versions of the Colvars module, as the one
included in the NAMD version you are using.
In other words, Jérôme has pointed you already twice to a problem that you
would have been able to detect on your own by checking the log.
Please, always check the output for warnings.
Giacomo
