Thank you for this. Another question - presumably I will specify my own distributions (not from VOTCA) with some simplifications. Then I will create intial potentials to IBI as name.pot.in. Votca will try to fit to my distributions to the one submitted in the main directory. However, by calculating distributions after each step these will not be distributions which could possibly match my initial with simpifications, am I right? Do I have to calculate RDFs at each step on my own then?
Another issue: How Votca normalize RDFs using csg_stat ? I wish to have volume and mass normalized distributions, is that possible?
