[CP2K:7069] Pulling molecule out of surface

[Ralph Koitz]

Hi,

Yes, you can define the point-plane distance also with respect to the
center of mass of some atoms.
See
http://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/SUBSYS/COLVAR/DISTANCE_POINT_PLANE/POINT.html

It should look something like this
&COLVAR
  &DISTANCE_POINT_PLANE
    ATOMS_PLANE 2 3 5
    ATOM_POINT 1
    &POINT
      TYPE GEO_CENTER
      ATOMS   7 3 1 6                !your phosphate...
    &END POINT
  &END DISTANCE_POINT_PLANE
&END COLVAR

Best,
Ralph
