Hi XIng
The amber16 manual says:
"The output file differs substantially from that used in the case of nmr
restraints. It contains 4 columns: x0(t), x,
force, work. Here work is computed as the integrated force over
distances (or angle, or torsion)."
So, the first column is the value of the coordinate you WANT the system
to have a particular time, interpolated between the initial and final
values by nstep/nstlim
The second column is the ACTUAL value of the coordinate at that same time.

>>> Hello, I ran a steered molecular dynamics simulation using jar=1, and now have the dist_vs_t file. I am fairly certain that the third column of this file is the force of pulling at each step, but I am uncertain what its units are. Is this in kcal/mol, or in piconewtons? Thanks very much.
