NAME

gmx-sans-legacy - Compute small angle neutron scattering spectra

SYNOPSIS

gmx sans-legacy [ -s [<.tpr>] ] [ -f [<.xtc/.trr/...>] ] [ -n [<.ndx>] ]
[ -d [<.dat>] ] [ -pr [<.xvg>] ] [ -sq [<.xvg>] ]
[ -prframe [<.xvg>] ] [ -sqframe [<.xvg>] ] [ -b <time> ]
[ -e <time> ] [ -dt <time> ] [ -tu <enum> ] [ -xvg <enum> ]
[ -mode <enum> ] [ -mcover <real> ] [ -[no]pbc ]
[ -startq <real> ] [ -endq <real> ] [ -qstep <real> ]
[ -seed <int> ]

DESCRIPTION

gmx sans-legacy computes SANS spectra using Debye formula. It currently uses topology file (since it need to assign element for each atom).

Parameters:

-pr Computes normalized g(r) function averaged over trajectory

-prframe Computes normalized g(r) function for each frame

-sq Computes SANS intensity curve averaged over trajectory

-sqframe Computes SANS intensity curve for each frame

-startq Starting q value in nm

-endq Ending q value in nm

-qstep Stepping in q space

Note: When using Debye direct method computational cost increases as 1/2 * N * (N - 1) where N is atom number in group of interest.

WARNING: If sq or pr specified this tool can produce large number of files! Up to two times larger than number of frames!
