Hi, Xiaoling
Yes, it is not simply numerical average for each atom, but basically when
the number of
atom goes high, we always need high value of harmonic strength. I would
suggest you
try some large numbers like 100, 500 kcal/mol, check the trajectory,
monitor file to
see what happens
For the path and harm type, the default is SPLINE, so if you want a linear
increasing,
just set parm_mode or harm_mode to 'LINES', this is also explained in the
manual
