[gmx-users] Average box size

[Navjeet Ahalawat]

Hi all

I did NPT simulation for 30 ns using triclinic box (-angles 88.30,
107.40, 112.20) and Isotropic pressure coupling. Now i want to use
average box size for production run (NVT). But I am confused because i
am not able to get the meaning of the output values of the log file.

If Box-X Box-Y Box-Z represent average value of  a b c then volume
does not correspond to my triclinic box because its just
multiplication of Box-X Box-Y Box-Z. So Please can anybody help me
which volume should I consider for next NVT production run.

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
