Re: [AMBER] QM/MM metadynamics with external QM code

Dear Quinghua
to monitor your calculation you could
modify the FLUSH keyword in the plumed input.
For example in this way
FLUSH STRIDE=500
Colvar and HILLS files are written every 500 steps.

I thinks the default plumed FLUSH value is thought
for MM-MD and not for QM-MM.

Regards

Jacopo
