• Keyword descriptions

  COLVAR_AVG_TEMPERATURE_RESTART
  	COLVAR_AVG_TEMPERATURE_RESTART 0.0
  	COLVAR average temperature. Only for restarting purposes.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+00

  DELTA_T
  	DELTA_T <REAL>
  	If Well-tempered metaD is used, the temperature parameter must be specified.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+00
  	Default unit: [K]

  DO_HILLS
  	DO_HILLS
  	This keyword enables the spawning of the hills. Default .FALSE.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.

  LAGRANGE
  	LAGRANGE
  	Specifies whether an extended-lagrangian should be used. Default .FALSE.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.

  LANGEVIN
  	LANGEVIN {LOGICAL}
  	If a Lagrangian scheme is used the eq. motion of the COLVARS are integrated with a LANGEVIN scheme.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.
  	This keyword cites the following reference: [VandenEijnden2006]

  MIN_DISP
  	MIN_DISP <REAL>
  	Minimum displacement between hills before placing a new hill.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: -1.00000000E+00

  NHILLS_START_VAL
  	NHILLS_START_VAL <INTEGER>
  	The starting value of previously spawned hills
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: 0

  NT_HILLS
  	NT_HILLS {INTEGER}
  	Specify the time step interval between spawning two hills. When negative, no new hills are spawned and only the hills read from SPAWNED_HILLS_* are in effect. The latteris useful when one wants to add a custom constant bias potential.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: 30

  OLD_HILL_NUMBER
  	OLD_HILL_NUMBER <INT>
  	Index of the last hill spawned for this walker.Needed to calculate MIN_DISP
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: 0

  OLD_HILL_STEP
  	OLD_HILL_STEP <INT>
  	Timestep of the last hill spawned for this walker.Needed to calculate MIN_DISP
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: 0

  STEP_START_VAL
  	STEP_START_VAL <INTEGER>
  	The starting step value for metadynamics
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: 0

  TEMPERATURE
  	TEMPERATURE <REAL>
  	If a Lagrangian scheme is used the temperature for the collective variables is specified.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+00

  TEMP_TOL
  	TEMP_TOL <REAL>
  	If a Lagrangian scheme is used the temperature tolerance for the collective variables is specified.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+00
  	Default unit: [K]

  	This keyword enables Well-tempered metadynamics. Default .FALSE.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.
  	This keyword cites the following reference: [Barducci2008]

  WTGAMMA
  	WTGAMMA <REAL>
  	If Well-tempered metaD is used, the gamma parameter must be specified if not DELTA_T.
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+00

  WW
  	WW <REAL>
  	Specifies the height of the gaussian to spawn. Default 0.1 .
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.00000000E-01
  	Default unit: [hartree]
