[gmx-users] Positive free energy from Thermodynamics integration

Also, just a side note.  If you are using *gmx bar*, then you are not doing
TI, you are using BAR :-)

FEP was originally derived by Zwanzig (1954).  There are different
mathematical derivations of FEP, such as TI, BAR, etc :-)  Gromacs has
built in code for doing a BAR calculation.  If you want to use TI
specifically (it shouldn't really make much difference) then look through
github for alchemical_analysis.py

Cheers,
Billy
