Dear Valentina,

For visualization, you'll want to look at a representative structure, not
an average structure (as coordinates are averaged, which leads to a
'strange' view). I *think* the required cpptraj cluster option to write a
representative structure depends on the AmberTools version you use, so
please check the manual.
(Always load PDB formatted files as PDB in VMD, not Amber coordinates.)
