[gmx-users] Bonds missing in VMD visualization

[Diego Enry]

VMD computes distances between pairs of atoms to "draw" a bond. So I
think your atoms are too distanced from each other.
Check the bond distribution during MD and compare with your topology.
C-CL should be around 1.76A.
VMD will not show this bond if, in the REFERENCE frame (the .gro/pdb
you open before the .xtc/.trr), this distance is greater than 2.0A.
