Hello again,

When I was working through your tutorial, I noticed the following statement under pull = umbrella: "IMPORTANT: This procedure is not umbrella sampling. I used a harmonic potential.....For the purposes of generating initial configurations for umbrella sampling, you can set pull = constraint with equivalent results"

I guess I just focused on the first part. I didn't realize that I needed to switch to pull = umbrella in order to use g_wham.

Right, that's why I provide .mdp files for each step that should be, in general, usable (with a few tweaks dependent upon the system). I'll think about making the tutorial a bit more explicit.

I still don't understand the part of the error where pull = cylinder though (I am sure that it said this). I will change pull = constraint to pull = umbrella and see if I still get the error.

I don't see how the code could have told you that you were using cylinder, which is a "pull_geometry" option, not a "pull" option (see .mdp parameters in the manual). If it did, then there could be a bug in the code, but from looking at where the error originates in gmx_wham.c, it seems to be calling the right enum, so I don't know how it would've printed "cylinder."

Thanks,

        Hello,

        I am trying to create a PMF for the sodium cation and iodine
        anion in the presence of THF.  I have been following the
        umbrella sampling tutorial on the gromacs website, and
        everything has been working out.  I have finally created 14
        different equilibriation simulations, whose starting
        configurations were obtained form a pull simulation with
        pull_rate = 0.06.  To get the 14 different equilibriated runs, I
        left the pull code on, but I just made pull_rate = 0.00.  I have
        created a list of the .tpr files and the pullf[].xvg files, and
        I tried to use g_wham.  The error I got was as follows:  "This
        is not a tpr of an umbrella simulation.  Found ir.ePul; =
        cylinder."  Has anyone else found this error?  I was not even
        using cylinder, I was using distance.


    Your .mdp files indicate "pull = constraint" so the error message is
    at least partially correct - you are not using umbrella sampling
    (that would be "pull = umbrella").  Perhaps this is just a typo and
    the error did actually say "constraint" but in any case, WHAM won't
    work unless you're actually doing umbrella sampling.

        I have attached my original pull  .mdp file, and the .mdp file
        used in the 14 equilibration runs.

        I appreciate any help.

        Thanks,
        Jenny
