Sorry to hear that you're running into trouble. I'm not sure why that would
be happening. If you send me your input files offline I am happy to help
you debug the problem.

you run DEN refinement without a reference model, the method will
automatically use the input model to generate the starting network.

the molecule, too, but have not yet implemented that part.

It's a high priority to allow to multiple reference models for both DEN and
reference model refinement, so hopefully that will be available soon.

cases where you'd like it to be a related model, and will add that ability
in the future.
