g_nmens1

Generate an ensemble of structures from the normal modes

Part of gmx-nmens(1).

Usage

gmx nmens [-v [<.trr/.cpt/ ... >]] [-e [<.xvg>]] [-s [<.tpr/.tpb/ ... >]] [-n [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.xtc/.trr/ ... >]] [-nice <int>] [-xvg <enum>] [-temp <real>] [-seed <int>] [-num <int>] [-first <int>] [-last <int>]

Overview

gmx nmens generates an ensemble around an average structure in a subspace that is defined by a set of normal modes (eigenvectors). The eigenvectors are assumed to be mass-weighted. The position along each eigenvector is randomly taken from a Gaussian distribution with variance kT/eigenvalue.

By default the starting eigenvector is set to 7, since the first six normal modes are the translational and rotational degrees of freedom.
