Re: [AMBER] CPPTRAJ contacts and nativecontacts

I am using v17.00 right now, but I believe v14 is equivalent for this
purpose. I have done more or less what you are doing myself. You need to
use the 'series' and 'seriesout <file>' and 'seriesnnout <file>' options to
get timeseries data to be written.
The time series data will then contain one column for every residue pair
and one line for each timestep, with the first column corresponding to
frame number. The seriesout file is for native contact series and the
seriesnnout file is for non-native time series.
Hope that helps...
