Hi,

we had similar trouble some time ago, and we could solve it by using a good PBC atom. Make sure that your pbc_atom is in the very center of your membrane.

Btw, using "distance" to compare with "cylinder" is a bad test, since it does something very different (the distance is the same at z=com-1 and z=com+1. I would use "direction" or "position" for your test. You can also use position/direction for the umbrella simulations, you'll probably get similar results to the geometry "cylinder", but you'll also have to make sure your pbc_atom is fine.

Cheers,
Jochen

It works if I set pull_start to the initial distance given by g_dist
things work just fine.

So this will be the way for now at least.

Guess that there could be an error in the inout parsing then.

Thanks a lot for your help, really appreciate it.
