Hi,
just to add a comment:
If you used iwrap=1 in your simulation input, try to use the unwrap
command in cpptraj, expecially, if you are not interested in the solvent
molecules: strip off these first, the do the unwrap and omit the
(auto)image commands.
However, you may want to use a rms fit command to obtain a trajectory
better to visualize.
Regards,
Anselm
