Hello Justin

I still don't understand where Gromacs takes the x coordinates in the output pmf with g_wham
If I run g_wham with tpr-files and pullf-files without the pullx-files

-it tpr-files.dat -if pullf-files.dat
I get a profile which means that g_wham does not take the X-coordinates in the pullx (I don't give them), but in the tpr files ...
So what X-coordinates are stored in the tpr-files ?

Then if I use
-it tpr-files.dat -ix pullx-files.dat 
Where does g_wham take the forces and which x coordinates does it take : those from the tpr or those from the pullx ?

Moreover when I restart my simulations, I regenerate new tpr files
For instance to add 10 more ns

gmx convert-tpr -s umbrella10ns.tpr -extend 10000 -o umbrella20ns.tpr
gmx mdrun -s umbrella20ns.tpr -cpi xxx.cpt ....

If I run g_wham after this simulation, which tpr should I use ?

Can you please explain the role of these tpr in g_wham calculations?

Thanks a lot

In that case too bad we would have tons of "bad" pull files Printing the reaction coordinate (dX) should be the default .. Don't you think so ?

It should be straightforward to apply a systematic shift to the values in the output PMF curve. But I don't know how you've set up your pull code to get such output in the first place. The absolute position of
group0 should be totally irrelevant.
