Re: [AMBER] FW: about trajectory unwrap

Hi,

The 'unwrap' and 'image' commands have the opposite effect, so
effectively all you are doing here is cancelling out your 'unwrap'
with your 'image'. If all you want is to center on your first molecule
and re-image I recommend trying 'autoimage'. Also, it's better to
'strip' prior to imaging since this results in the code having to deal
with far less molecules (so it will be faster). For example:

trajin ../../macro_prod1.nc 3000 4000
strip :WAT,Na+
autoimage origin
trajout macro_prod1_noWAT2.mdcrd
go

Hope this helps,

-Dan
