Command line tool: drr_tool

Module drr
Description Input
Extract or merge the drrstate files. command line args

Details

  • Extract .grad and .count files from the binary output .drrstate
  • Merge windows

Examples

The following command will extract .grad and .count files.

plumed drr_toolExtract or merge the drrstate files. This action has hidden defaults. More details --extractExtract drrstate file(s) eabf.drrstate

The following command will merge windows of two .drrstate file, and output the .grad and .count files.

plumed drr_toolExtract or merge the drrstate files. This action has hidden defaults. More details --mergeMerge eABF windows win1.drrstate,win2.drrstate

After getting the .grad and .count file, you can do numerical integration by using abf_integrate tool from https://github.com/Colvars/colvars/tree/master/colvartools

abf_integrate eabf.czar.grad

units

The abf_integrate in colvartools is in kcal/mol, so it may be better to use --units kcal/mol when running drr_tool
