NAME¶
gmx-principal - Calculate principal axes of inertia for a group of atoms
SYNOPSIS¶
gmx principal [-f [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]
[-n [<.ndx>]] [-a1 [<.xvg>]] [-a2 [<.xvg>]]
[-a3 [<.xvg>]] [-om [<.xvg>]] [-b <time>] [-e <time>]
[-dt <time>] [-tu <enum>] [-[no]w] [-xvg <enum>]
[-[no]foo]
DESCRIPTION¶
gmx principal calculates the three principal axes of inertia for a group of atoms. NOTE: Old versions of GROMACS wrote the output data in a strange transposed way. As of GROMACS 5.0, the output file paxis1.dat contains the x/y/z components of the first (major) principal axis for each frame, and similarly for the middle and minor axes in paxis2.dat and paxis3.dat.
OPTIONS¶
Options to specify input files:
- -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] (traj.xtc)
 - Trajectory: xtc trr cpt gro g96 pdb tng
 - -s [<.tpr/.gro/...>] (topol.tpr)
 - Structure+mass(db): tpr gro g96 pdb brk ent
 - -n [<.ndx>] (index.ndx) (Optional)
 - Index file
 
Options to specify output files:
- -a1 [<.xvg>] (paxis1.xvg)
