[AMBER] calculating MSD by correcting the center-of-mass-motion

Dear SIr,

I am doing bilayer simulation and I would like to calculate MSD (mean square displacement) for the lipids in the bilayer.

Since my simulation is quite long (~200ns), I have used flags like ntxo=1, iwrap=1, nscm=5000.

In the literature, ( for example J.Chem. Phys., Vol. 115, No. 10, 8 September 2001) indicated that before the MSD calculation the authors have corrected the center-of-mass motion in each layer before calculating. They used GROMACS.

Well, since I am using AMBER12, do I still need to do the correction for the center-of-mass motion in each layer before calculating the MSD in AMBER? If yes how do I do the correction? I could not find anything related to this in the manual.

Hope kindly I can get some explanation and help . 
Many thanks in advance.

Regards
