Hey,

VOTCA does not compute atomistic forces, they need to be provided in
the atomistic trr file (just switch on writing forces in gromacs). You
should do same output frequency for forces as for coordinates. So you
can do it while running or use rerun to calculate forces for an
existing trajectory.

The coarse-grained forces are then calculated according to the mapping
weights in the cg molecule definition.

Some things to consider:
 - make sure you don't use constraints during simulation
 - be sure what you are doing if not using a center of mass mapping

For more details see the paper by Noid et al:

Cheers,
Victor
