Re: ABF simulation with extendedLagrangian on keeps crashing

Hi,

I gave up on ABF for the time being and ran a metadynamics simulation. But
the simulation still crashed, although I did not see anything in the
trajectory even when writing every step.
The colvar traj is shown
here<http://www.ijs.si/ijs/dept/epr/ajasja/mails/ABF/meta-theta-crash.png>.
I'll try to somehow get rid of the dummy atom and see if it runs better.

Best regards,
Ajasja
