Hi,

First of all keep in mind that the pseudo-trajectory you've created by
concatenating your individual umbrellas together is not necessarily a
real pathway, so the fact that the transition appears to occur in
steps could just be an artifact of the umbrella restraints. To see
actual pathways you'd have to do something like transition path
sampling.

To accomplish the clustering you want in cpptraj, you would first
RMS-fit chain A prior to the 'cluster' command, then cluster on chain
B with the 'nofit' keyword. See the manual for full details.
