Can you be more explicit about exactly what the phrase "seems to have
absolutely no effect" means? Is there nothing related to EMAP in the output
file? You should see information that a map was being created, and there
should be an EMAP energy printed along with other components of the energy
every ntpr steps.
If the target map is a long way from the starting structure, the code may
have trouble figuring out which way to push things. Or, something else
might be awry. But first we need to know if you are getting EMAP results in
the output at all.
If you are seeing EMAP energies, try some experiments, e.g. where the target
structure is the same as the initial one, or just a little bit different,
etc.
