fes from metadynamics

[Matt McGrath]

Hi Sam.  It's my understanding that -ndim should always be 2 in your
case.  If you want to print out the FES along colvar 1, you should use
-ndw 1.  If you want to print out the FES along colvar 2, use -ndw 2.
This appears to choose the minimum value of the colvar you specify
among all possible values of the other colvar, and just print that
(which is a reasonable approximation to integrating over the other
colvar, I think).

Unless you were asking something else?

                            Cheers, Matt
