Steered MD diminishing distances

Dear all,

I am usindg Steered MD simulations in otder to approach two groups in my system.
Usually, by employing Steered MD, one wants to move far away two atoms
or groups.
I would like to do the conrary: approach two selected groups. My
configuration file is the following.
I want to steer my atoms along the SMDDir vector, but I am not able to
approach the teo atoms, since the code pulls them far apart.

Could you please help me in that?

Thank you very much
Best wishes

Giulia Palermo
