NAME

gmx-nmens - Generate an ensemble of structures from the normal modes

SYNOPSIS

gmx nmens [-v [<.trr/.cpt/...>]] [-e [<.xvg>]] [-s [<.tpr/.gro/...>]]
[
-n [<.ndx>]] [-o [<.xtc/.trr/...>]] [-xvg <enum>]
[
-temp <real>] [-seed <int>] [-num <int>] [-first <int>]
[
-last <int>]

DESCRIPTION

gmx nmens generates an ensemble around an average structure in a subspace that 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.
