Hello Enrico,
I have done umbrella sampling with NAMD.
You need to use the TCL interface to define
the umbrella potentials and then just do normal
MD after that. As far as I know NAMD does not have
any kind of routine for unbiasing the potential so
I read my DCDs into MATLAB where I have my own
WHAM code written. It is all pretty easy to do once
you have things set up.
If you want a simple tcl script, i can send one to you
at some point in the near future. Let me know.
