Hi Vinícius,
Thank you so much for the reply!
I'm currently basing the Hamiltonian dimension on different parameters of
accelerated MD. It makes sense to exchange coordinates and velocities when
the Hamiltonian dimension is based off of varying topology files.
But in the case of aMD-based Hamiltonian exchange, where only the input
parameters differ (much like temperature-REMD), does this also hold?
Thanks for the clarification - I just want to make sure I understand the
implementation!
Best,
Jason
