Re: ABF in various simulations

Hi,

What you are doing, splitting the pathway into windows, is correct. In
addition, you can run the calculation for each window in a series of
shorter runs, simply by restarting each run from NAMD's restart files,
and specifying the colvarsInput keyword (see user's guide for
details).
