g_nmens – generates an ensemble of structures from the normal modes

VERSION 4.0.1

Synopsis

g_nmens -v eigenvec.trr -e eigenval.xvg -s topol.tpr -n index.ndx -o ensemble.xtc -[no]h -nice int -[no]xvgr -temp real -seed int -num int -first int -last int

Description

g_nmens generates an ensemble around an average structure in a subspace which is defined by a set of normal modes (eigenvectors). The eigenvectors are assumed to be mass-weighted. The position along each eigenvector is randomly taken from a Gaussian distribution with variance kT/eigenvalue.

By default the starting eigenvector is set to 7, since the first six normal modes are the translational and rotational degrees of freedom.
