Apology if my response here is over-elementary, but I sense you are
needing to get oriented in the output as first order of business.

The first numbers you are seeing are the coordinates of the atoms in the
systemat their mean positions from the ptraj run. As long as you removed
translation and rotation correctly before creating your covariance
matrix,these coordinates would correspond to the coordinates of the system
at a local mimum around which a typically more challenging Normal Mode
calculation (diagonalization of Hessian matrix) were being performed.

You will find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors after these coordinates.

 grep --after=10 --before=1 "\*\*" ptraj.output.file | less

could yield something like this. You see the the last of the coordinates.
Then a "1" indicates the "first" Eigenvector and a 0.56814 for the
Eigenvalue.

Note that the units of the Eigenvalues varies depending on whether you do
Mass-weighted output or not. The units are discussed elsewhere in
documentation or on the reflector.

Numbers after that are the first eigenvector, the harmonic approximations
of the amplitude of the motion of the atom coordinates x,y,z; x,y,z; etc.

Hope the above helps more than it hurts.
