GMX-PRINCIPAL(1) GROMACS GMX-PRINCIPAL(1)

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.
