Hi, Christoph,

thanks for your quick answer. 

> What version of VOTCA are you using? (Run "csg_call --version") 

The version I am using is 1.4.1.

>The "step_000/A-A.dist.tgt" in your plot, doesn't seem to be the same 
as you send around. 
>Why is the one in the plot, so rough? 

I think the plot I sent in my previous message does not show it very well. 
The red curve is the target (which is not well visible under all the rest) 
and the brown one is the divergent result. I attach a new graph showing 
only target, convergent-looking curve at step 270, and divergent result at 
step 360. The bin size for the RDFs is 0.1 Angstroms.

the bonds. 

I started with harmonic potentials, but I changed to Boltzmann inverted 
ones to check whether that was the problem.

don't need a mapping file. 

I thought I needed it but, anyway, it was not affecting the 
coarse-graining, right?

>Plus the pressure correction block should be somewhere inside an 
interaction block, but again make it simple and start without pressure 
correction. 

thanks, I take note of it.

I attach the new figure with only three curves, including the target and 
diverged curves, and also the potentials and distributions required to run 
the simulations.

I must insist that the problem I have also happened to me with no 
smoothing, averaging and pressure correction options, and with harmonic 
potentials instead of tables for the bonds and angles. I added these 
features sequentially to check whether any of them was causing the problem. 
I will redo the simplest example and post results and files here. In the 
meantime, what could possibly be causing the divergence?

Kind regards.
Javier
