Hi Stefan,
Your message reminds us that users need examples of working inputs for
the colvars module. The new version of the ABF tutorial should
hopefully help a little.
In your input, there is a problem with the way the atom group is
defined. One correct syntax would be:
colvar {
rmsd {
atoms {
atomNumbers { 1 2 3 }
}
refPositionsFile ubq_ws.pdb
}
}
and your other version should read:
colvar {
rmsd {
atoms {
# add all the C-alphas within residues 1 to 76 of segment "U"
psfSegID U
atomNameResidueRange CA 1-76
}
refPositionsFile ubq_ws.pdb
}
}
One important remark: in principle, wrong input should result in
informative error messages. If the messages you got were not helpful,
we will try and improve them.
Best,
Jerome
