Hi Philippe,
The .zgrad only calculates the z-average spring force, the right term of
the CZAR equation in the colvars manual (page 52, eq 22), which is
k(⟨λ⟩-z)k(\langle{\lambda}\rangle-z).
The .czar.grad uses the whole equation, including the left term that has
ρ˜(z)\tilde\rho(z)
In practical, .zgrad files are mainly used in merging stratified
windows. .czar.grad files are used as the input of numerical integration
(abf_integrate).
For more you can read the description of the writeCZARwindowFile option
in the colvars manual.
Thanks,
Haochuan Chen
