[gmx-users] g_dipoles, average not the same as from g_analyze

[Dmitri Dubov]

Dear Emanuel,

Please, check 
http://lists.gromacs.org/pipermail/gmx-users/2010-March/049316.html
and Berk reply.

I did never use -av (-a ?) option, maybe there is similar bug in average.xvg. 
Anyway last column of Mtot.xvg gives really correct norm of M_tot vector!

Regards,
 Dmitri
