Hi, 

I have been trying to perform IBI on a PEG oligomer (6 monomers). I have used only one bead type for each monomer. This degrees of freedom of my cg system are one bond type , one angle type, one dihedral type and one nonbonded interaction. I have generated a sufficiently long trajectory in order to obtain smooth distributions. However, my iterations always stop at the 1st step, with gromacs failing after a bond gets out of range. The tabulated bond potential generated by VOTCA seems very shallow compared to what I would expect from the inversion of the target distribution. Is there a possibility that something is not computed properly. Please find attached the corresponding plots. (The units in the plots correspond to x [nm]  y [ kJ/mol]). Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards, 
Christianna

Sometimes setting up bonded interaction is tricky as you need to get
the range where initial inversion is performed right.
If you can make a better initial guess for the potential than what
VOTCA calculates (.pot.new in step_000), you can provide that as
<name>.pot.in in the main directory and VOTCA will use it instead of
the BI inverted PMF and then perform IBI on top of that.

Hi Christianna,

Are you using lammps input files, if so what units are you using?
