[gmx-users] Regarding trjconv

[Ali Khodayari]

Dear all,



I am trying to re-center and re-orient an md resulted solute in a box. Yet,
I need the box to hold its position and I only need a group of atoms to
align along z-direction. Trjconv centers the group in the box but the
desired sub-group has a slight inclination which is needed to be oriented
along z axis. Is there any particular trick to do this? Maybe in combination
with editconf?



Best,

Ali

trjconv -fit with a suitable index group that defines the orientation
you want.

Thank you Justin.
I tried to define a reference group having the desired orientation and use
-fit. But the box rotates as well. I need to keep the box as it is and just
rotate the solute. Using -fit prompts me to choose the group for least
squares fit and the output, only. When I use -princ in editconf, it orients
the crystal in z direction perfectly. The only problem is that the box
rotates as well, and is not well aligned along the same direction. Any
suggestions?
Best,
Ali
