Hello,

I am using a pull code to increase the end-to-end distance of a protein
(included below). I am using direction-periodic and would like the distance
between the COM groups to be calculated in three dimensions. However,
setting pull_coord1_dim = Y Y Y appears to have no effect and the distance
printed to the pull file is still only in the pull_vec dimension (as
verified by checking with gmx distance). Is there any way to use
pull_coord1_dim = Y Y Y with direction-periodic?


No, because direction and direction-periodic only use pull_coord1_vec.

pull_coord1_k           = 5000          ; kJ mol^-1 nm^-2
pull_coord1_start       = no           ; define initial COM distance > 0
pull_coord1_init = 3.5
pull_coord1_vec         = 0 0 1


Thanks,
