[gmx-users] Re: rerun of trajectory

[Paul Barrett]

is it solvated? Can you remove the water and just view the other stuff?
This reduces my files by 80-90% in size.

if so....
1) generate an index file with an entry "not water" as follows..

make_ndx -f (file name e.g. the .pdb or .gro that you started the
simulation with)

then find the SOL entry e.g. "15". Type !15 [return]. This should
generate a new entry called !SOL (i.e. not sol). Exit make_ndx by typing
"q"

3) use trjconv with the index file you have just made...e.g

trjconv  -f main.xtc -s post_pr.tpr -o nowater.xtc -n index.ndx -pbc
nojump

It would also be worth converting the trajectory to one with fewer
frames.
