Happy new year everybody,

Christoph thanks for your reply, it was very useful for me.

I have a couple of new questions. In the propane tutorial, there is a
folder for ibi_espresso, in which the table_a1.tab file is located.

By comparing this file with the table_a1.xvg file in the ibi folder,
it rises two new questions.

 i) The third column in table_a1.tab is the same potential than in the
second column (in kJ/mol) of the table_a1.xvg file. Do should not the
third column in table_a1.tab be in kT (reduced) units?

 ii) I am not able to reproduce the second column of table_a1.tab from
direct differentiation of the third column respect to the first one
after appropriated change of units?

An additional request, may you provide the files to perform the
propane MD atomistic simulation in future versions of VOTCA tutorials
as you provide the atomistic simulation files for the hexane example?

Best regards,
Javi
