Hi Carsten:
Thank you for your answers. I don't know whether I am right to reply to gmx-users at gromacs.org. If I am wrong, please tell me.
As in my last letter, I said I was not able to set "pull_weights1" correctly. I have red the mannual, but I don't understand what it tells. I'll do with your recommendation, setting one pull group which contains 700 atoms and using Gromacs-4.0.7. Then how to set the "pull_weights1" ?
Best regards!
Hi,
you should set one pull group, not 700. The number of atoms in your
pull group is 700. Freezing the pull group in x and y direction probably
does what you want. Please also consider to upgrade to 4.0.7,
which is the most recent stable version.
Best,
Carsten
