[lammps-users] PMF calculation

Hi

I could really use some help with something basic. I want to do a
potential of mean force calculation above a mineral surface. In the
attached input I have successfully constrained my adsorbing atom to a
plane and fixed one atom of the slab to keep it fixed. I just need to
get the outputted values from fix 3 (planeforce) to average and print to
my output file.

Any advice on what to relpace the commented line with would be much
appreciated.

than you all very much

Not sure what you mean by "outputted values from planeforce".
As the doc page for it states, there are no computed values
it makes available for other commands. However, it would
not be hard to add a bit of code to it (see fix_set_force.cpp
as an example), to have it store the total force on the
group's atoms before the forces are changed. Then
you could access those values via fix ave/time, etc.

But not sure if that's what you're asking.
