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.
