Hi,
you need to look at the test cases and follow that a bit. We are working
on some tutorials, but they are not yet ready.

I would look at your dist_vs_t file, specially the first line.

If your distance at time zero is really 29 A and you start from 29.5,
the initial restraint will be huge. Given that your initial restraint
energy is 3334.5521 and your force constant is 5000, you seems to have a
distance of ~0.8 A away from where you should be.

this causes a very fastm strong pull, followed by shake failures.

Try stating your pull at exactly the distance you really have before
pulling.

Adrian
