I checked the molecular trajectory in VMD and the ligand does, indeed, diffuse away. I've never checked the colvars trajectory before, how do I do that? Thanks!

Hi Kelly,

First I would check the log file to see if your restraint parameters are understood exactly the way you mean them by the Colvars module. Do you see the diffusion out of the boundaries happen both in the colvars trajectory and in the molecular trajectory as visualized in VMD? If there is an inconsistency there, it could indicate a difference between how the value f the variable is calculated and how you mean it.

In one of my ABF windows, the ligand moved outside the 3 angstrom window, even though I have lowerwallconstant and upperwallconstant set to 100.0 kcal/mol. It never returned to the window, but diffused away. I have not seen that happen before. The other 9 ABF windows keep the ligand inside the window. Should I just increase the lowerwallconstant and upperwallconstant value, or should that have not happened with the value I used?
