The correction of the mean force to calculation of free energy in CP2K

[zhe8... at gmail.com]

Dear YE-FEI LI
      I'm a rookie of cp2k, i run a cp2k constraint dynamics download from 
this forum, but i don't understand the output. Have you ever done some 
works about free energy calculation before? My question is that:(1)output 
about colvar in "MD-COLVAR.metadynLog" is from5to6,but we set the value is 
from3to4 in input file,they are different.(2) the output"MD-1.ener" is the 
potential energy,right? and how can i get the free energy, i don't see the 
option in free _energy print.

thanks a lot
