[gmx-users] S-type Hydrogen bond correlation function

Thank you, I have installed new version of gromacs4.0.5 and trjorder
works fine in giving me the trajectory file(ordered.trr)  but using
this file when i try  g_velacc(velocity autocorrelation function) for
the water molecules,  i am getting the result 'nan 0.000'.   Later
when i checked the trajectory file(ordered.trr) by converting to *.gro
file using trjconv, i understood that 'velocities' are missing.

So, can you guide me how i can do velocity auto correlation function
for the water molecules exist close to the protein(i.e., in a
hydration shell) using gromacs?  Thank you again.

Regards,
Rama
