[gmx-users] seeming paradox with gmx wham

[Alex]

Thanks!

Just to make sure I'm doing this right this time. By merely changing the 
dim directive with everything else following your tutorial, I would be 
probing the spherical domain around the pore with a bunch of different 
radius values? Because this is exactly what I want.

Thanks,

Alex
