Hi Wujie,
The trajectory file in AMBER, in ASCII format, is simply X1, Y1, Z1 -> XN,
YN, ZN followed by 3 numbers for the box size. It then repeats for the
next frame with no line break. See
http://ambermd.org/formats.html#trajectory
Note, it's not really designed to be human readable and requires a
matching prmtop file. You have several options in terms of your analysis.
You can use the cpptraj tool that ships with AMBER - this can likely carry
out all the analysis you want to do. However, if you are more familiar
with Lammps you may just want to convert the trajectory file into a
different format and use that to do the analysis with Lammps or whatever
program you are used to. Cpptraj can do this for you. For example if you
wanted to convert the trajectory file to a multi-molecule pdb file you
would create a text file for cpptraj as follows
trajin filename.mdcrd
trajout filename.pdb pdb
Then run
$AMBERHOME/bin/cpptraj -p prmtop < textfile
I hope that helps.
All the best
Ross
