The force output file lists the total electrostatic force (x,y,z)
components (in kcal/mol-A) on each atom in the order of the prmtop/inpcrd
file. I'm also CC'ing Qin on this to confirm the output convention ...
So far I don't think any modeling software can visualize force vectors, at
least in the standard releases. I may be wrong though ... Of course this is
not impossible to do.
All the best,
Ray
