Hi Xavier Many thanks. Two more quick questions (both refering to barrier region): Does the value of the force constant affect the height of the barrier providing that there is reasonable overlap? Obviously there is a compromise between the size of the constant and the number of windows. If I incr

Hi Xavier Many thanks for the reply. When I compare the two curves Curve 1) lack of overlap in barrier region; force constant = 1000 Curve 2) with increased number of sampling windows with increased force constant (note I have only increased the force constant of the windows in the barrier region)
