[gmx-users] Problems with trjconv, file too big

[Yuhua Song]

Hi,
Thanks, I check the mailing-list. and I find the information as below:

"break down the big file into smaller pieces using 'split'.
You have to know the number of frames, the filesize and then
divide the filesize by frames+1. This will give you the
size per frame. And then you can make the chunks you want...."

my file cases is: 7ns: 3500frames. one frame size is 1410block, If I want to
split the *.trr file in 1ns chunks ( 1ns has 500 frames),  the split size
should be (500*oneframesize) or (501*oneframesize)?. I am a little confused
how to deal with that extra one frames, the extra one frame is at the
beginning of the file or at the end of the file?

Thanks,

Yuhua
