According to src/mdlib/pull.c the umbrella forces*displacement are added to
the virial. Therefore I'd say you see back effects in the virial/pressure
output of g_energy.
The umbrella potential energy is apparently not written away anywhere,
you'll have to recalculate it from the displacement-from-the-mean written in
your pull.pdo output file, and add that energy yourself to the total energy.


Greetings, Pim
