I guess this is what you mean:
trajin cMDrun1.prod_TIP4PEw.nc
center :1-162 mass origin
image origin center familiar
trajout cMDrun1.prod_TIP4PEw.wrapped.nc netcdf
go
The protein residues are numbered 1-162. The trajectory doesn't change, it
seems that the barostast applies pressure over the 6 planes of a cube(?)
instead on the 12 planes of a truncated octahedron (?). There must be
something wrong with the parameters I am using because the .prmtop and .rst
files look normal to me. Below is the last line of my restart (.rst) file
from which I resumed the simulation. It was an NVT equilibration without
restraints.
 115.6172820 135.3319607 138.3907610  90.0000000  90.0000000  90.0000000
I am also quoting again the relevant configuration parameters:
 ntxo=2,    ! write binary NetCDF restart files
 ioutfm=1,    ! use binary NetCDF format for the coordinate and velocity
trajectory files (mdcrd, mdvel and inptraj).
 iwrap=1,    ! wrap coordinates into primary box
! TEMPERATURE CONTROL
 tempi =100.0,     ! initial temperature
 temp0=300.0,     ! reference temperature at which the system is to be
kept, if ntt > 0
 ntt=3,     ! Use Langevin thermostat.
 gamma_ln=5,     ! Damping coefficient for Langevin dynamics in ps - 1.
 tautp=2.0,     ! Time constant, in ps, for heat bath coupling for the
system, if ntt = 1
 ig=209858,     ! The seed for the pseudo-random number generator
! PRESSURE CONTROL
 ntb=2,     ! use constant pressure
 ntp=1,        ! use pressure coupling
Any idea what's wrong?
