Hello Bob, have you tried to define the initial position of the AFM-tip? It needs to be set to the position of the COM of the group you want to pull. try and add afm_init1 = x y z (x y z = position where the afm should be) to your pull.ppa. Otherwise your afmspring is extended from the

Hi There seems to be something wrong with your init-vector. Ich have written a small python script, which simply calculates the vector for convenience purposes. You still need the pull- and COM-group coordinates, though. But that shouldn't be a problem. If you want it, I'll send it via mail.

Thanks Emily and Maik for your feed-back You both are right regarding the init vector. I happened to be the sign of it as Emily guessed. Changing the direction by doing xpull-xref, ypull -yref, zpull-zref and not xref-xpull.works fine. Thanks for the offer on the script though. Thanks
