[gmx-users] Umbrella Sampling - good histogram but no result in profile

[Rose]

Check the size of pullf-umbrellaX files(in a directory which gmx WHAM use them). MAYBE you refer for example a wrong pullf-umbrella0 file unintentionally. It happened to me.
Check the size, they should be almost close to each other.

At the end of using "gmx wham", I get a rather good histogram and it cover the whole range of the system. However at the making profile.xvg. I get the answer "nan" inside the file. Therefore I really cannot think of why is it giving me that?
