SPRING_R0 = [real (array)] 

Description: Position of the minimum for a harmonic bias potential.


The parameter SPRING_R0 defines the position of the minimum (ξ0μ) for the harmonic bias potential of the following form:

V~(ξ1,,ξM8)=μ=1M12κμ(ξμ(q)ξ0μ)2,

where the sum runs over all (M8) coordinates the potential acts upon (ξμ(q)), which are defined in the ICONST file by setting the status=8. The units of ξ0μ correspond to units of the coordinate the potential acts upon (e.g., Å for coordinates with flag R, rad. for coordinates with flag A, dimensionless for coordinates with flag W, etc...). The number of items defined via SPRING_R0 must be equal to M8, otherwise the calculation terminates with an error message.
