Hi,

Did each MD run use the restart of the previous run as initial
coordinates (and use irest=1)?

We have the total trajectory dividedinto 44 mdcrd files of various time spans (such as 100 ps, 150 ps and 200 ps)for a total 6 ns trajectory length. Time step is 0.1 ps for each frame withinall mdcrd files. The problem is the calculated tcf exhibits a sudden riseat the time step corresponding to the beginning of the next mdcrd file. Forexample, the tcf decays from 1 in the first trajectory which ends at a value of0.8614 at 149.9 ps. However, the tcf value at 150 ps is 0.8734 at the start ofthe next mdcrd file and decays subsequently. Again, the value suddenly rises atthe time step corresponding to the beginning of the next mdcrd file.Consequently, the tcf plot exhibits spike like features through out its decay. The ptraj script used is appended below.
