[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16161] Re: Problems with metadynamics postprocessing

[Marcella Iannuzzi]

Dear JHu

Each minimum on the FES corresponds to specific values of the CVs, as you 
defined them. Hence, any structure for which the CVs take those values 
 belongs to the minimum. There is no one specific set of coordinates. 

I expect that the points among which the path is calculated should be taken 
from the generated FES and not from the restart file. 

Kind regards
Marcella
