How to set a collective variable for metadynamics in CP2K ?

02 February 2024 0 6K Report

Dear all,

I'm trying to carry out metadynamics for a cyclic dimer system using Cp2k . I want to use center of mass to center of mass distance as my collective variable. Can anyone suggest me how to do it in the COLVAR subsection ?

Thank you.
