Re: [AMBER] [Sender Not Verified] CPPTRAJ, unit cell not X-aligned?

As far as I know these can be ignored. The rms fitting rotates the box
vectors in each frame out of alignment with the cartesian coordinate
vectors, so the resulting frames could not be used as starting points for
another MD simulation or stored in a format that expects a,b,c to be
colinear with x,y,z. If you want the rms fit to be done, there is no way
(or need) to fix it. For analysis of your simulation the misaligned boxes
likely wont matter.

OTOH, if my understanding here is wrong I'll be very happy if someone on
the list can point this out :-)

Kind Regards.

Thomas
