Thank you very much Daniel for your anwer, but still I am getting the empty
files for diff out in x , y and z direction, I am using amber15 tools with
the command diffusion 5.0 diff.out :1, I have uploaded input files as parm
filename.psf and trajectory as trajin filename.dcd. I think my commands are
correct, kindly let me know what can be the problem?
I am also trying to make my own program for MSD vs time plot but I am
confued with very basic question, being a beginner in this MD simulation
kindly ignore my trivial question.
I calculated lipid per area from Cpptraj and the values are in accordance
with experimental values and for calculating lipid per area one gets box
values of x and y which are then divided by half the number of lipids in
the system to get a area per lipid.
for calculating MSD one has to square the x and y values to get the
position at particular time steps
following is just an idea to calculate MD vs time in python
import numpy as np
r = np.sqrt(xdata**2 + ydata**2)
diff = np.diff(r) #this calculates r(t + dt) - r(t)
diff_sq = diff**2
MSD = np.mean(diff_sq)
Kindly correct me this x and Y values are not the box values from
trajectory? are these the position values from trajectory file or velocity?
and if yes then how to extract the position values from the trajectory
file?.
Hope to get a positive response...
