Hi Priya

That script is not for a 2drms, it is just a simple 1D rmsd versus the
initial frame, and then the does average.

Once you get the average, yes, you need to minimize it. The process of
averaging can create some weird structures.

I would recommend a different path: Compute the average and THEN
recalculate the RMSD of the trajectory against the average pdb. Look for
what frame is closest to the average (lowest rmsd value), extract it,
and minimize THAT frame.
