Dear all, 

In plumed 2.9, the collective variable TORSION is periodic, and there is no manners to convert it to non-periodic. I have tried multiples ways using MATHEVAL function but none worked. I wonder if someone knows a way to calculate non-periodic dihedral angles. 

All the best,
Cruz

You could do this:

t: TORSION ATOMS=1,2,3,4
c: CUSTOM ARG=t FUNC=x PERIODIC=NO

You then use c in place of t in your calculations.

I hope this helps
Gareth
