Hi
thanks - so I tried to rms fit using the following syntax - the
trajectory has been centered
center :1-100 mass origin
rms first mass
and then do a entropy calculation
matrix mwcovar name cc.matrix out cc.matrix
analyze matrix cc.matrix out new.matrix thermo
but now I start to get NaN and some very strange numbers
warning: setting vibrational entropy to zero for mode 320
with vtemp = -118786300.372960
warning: setting vibrational entropy to zero for mode 321
with vtemp = -4988665.26942776
Is the syntax wrong? So I do have diffusion and different
conformations in my sample which will probably have a very bad rms
score.
