Hello,
I can answer with fairly reasonable certainty 3 of the 4 columns, the 4th
column is only a (possibly educated) guess. The first column is the
equilibrium value of that constraint at that particular time step. The
second column is the ACTUAL value of the defined coordinate at that time
step. The fourth column is the amount of work done by the umbrella
potential.
The THIRD column, I'm not positive about. My guess would be that it's the
value of the force due to the umbrella potential at that point. This is
easy enough to check. Multiply the square of the difference 8.70127-5.3000
by your force constant and see if you reproduce -340012.6523. The negative
has to do with the fact that the actual value is greater than the
equilibrium value. Notice that when it swaps, and the actual becomes less
than the equilibrium value, the sign changes.
Hope this helps,
Jason
P.S. Perhaps this should be in the manual somewhere? Or in a more visible
spot. It's not entirely clear in the SMD section of the manual.
