Hi, Ruth
It is not the arithmetic mean, you should use Jarzynski relationship, check
the equation (21.16)
in the manual section 21.7.
For the number of trajectories, it relates with your system and reaction
coordinate, I would recommend
you do 100 first, check if the distribution is good? Then decide if more is
needed.
