Hello Jiali, I am not sure that this is a NAMD question (probably why you
didn't get an answer the first time).
PMFs can be computed under many conditions, even from experimental data.
For different condensed-phase systems, PMFs can have very different
magnitudes without being zero. PMFs with very high values are generally
difficult to compute in MD simulations, because the probability of the
corresponding states is exponentially small. I assume that you are aware
of this: otherwise, please read up.
More specific advice can only be given by those working with you on your
project. When you have a technical question that is not covered in the
manuals, that's what the mailing list is for.
