Hi David,
An updated tutorial is in the works. In the meantime, since there
seems to be high demand for it, here is a basic ABF example.
The NAMD config file would just contain the following extra lines:
colvars on
colvarsConfig distance-abf.in
# The next line is for restarting a previous run
#colvarsInput <some file name.colvars.state>
and the file distance-abf.in may read:
---------
colvarsTrajFrequency 10
colvarsRestartFrequency 10000
colvar {
name d
width 0.2
lowerBoundary 5.0
upperBoundary 15.0
lowerWallConstant 10.0
upperWallConstant 10.0
distance {
group1 {
atomNumbers 1 2 3
}
group2 {
atomNumbers 4 5 6
}
}
}
abf {
colvars d
fullSamples 500
}
-------------
Best,
Jerome
