Ok. The histogram is the actual result. As I said, my windows are all there,
all the reaction coordinates I mentioned before are there to be analysed and
in the correct order, but the result comes always the same way. This
histogram is the actual result.
I will try pulling in only one direction then. Should have the results in a
few days.
Thank you
