Hi, Fabian

The pulling time and strength always depend on your system and choice of
reaction coordinates,
most time the steering should be completed within 1ns if the reaction
coordinate is good.
So you can try 500ns first, it should be fast if you are using GPU.
The strength is really hard to say, I would recommend 100kcal/mol first,
but sometimes for MULTI_RMSD,
it really needs large steering strength, so if you can not get the
steering well try to increase the strength
gradually.
