Hi Jerome,
thank you, this is helpful. The gradients look somewhat different in one of
the overlapping regions, which is also less sampled, I may have to alter my
windows.
I am also trying to find out whether NAMD considers output from one file
(say, the first listed in the merger input) or from both files for the
overlapping region. I don't see this mentioned in any of the tutorials.
Thanks a lot,
Olga
