[gmx-developers] Einstin viscosity integral

I wonder how to interpret the results (more a user question but since
I'm editing the code and don't understand the results I might as well
clarify it).

So I get the Shear Viscosity Integral from the Einstein Viscosity code
and this quickly converges to a constant value for my liquids. The unit
given on the Y-axis is kg m^-1 s^-1 ps (which makes sense for a
viscosity integral). However, if the unit is correct, the viscosity
should be the slope of this curve, which is zero (since my curve is
fluctuating around a constant value). Am I misunderstanding something?
