But be aware that the force depends on the pulling velocity. If you perform the simulation with two different pulling velocities you'll get two different forces for each distance. The easiest way to get the force as a function of the distance (without the bias of the pulling velocity) would be thermodynamik intergration. This is similar to the umbrella sampling. You set up some windows with different distances. But instead of restraining the distance with an umbrella potential (as in umbrella sampling) you use a constraint to fix the distance and than can determine the constraint force.

Hi Erik and Justin

Thanks, writing such a script is easy.

The point of it all would be to be able to map the magnitude of the pulling
force to what I see happen in the pulling simulation. How else would you
get an understanding of what the pulling force means?

Thanks
