Dear Prof. Spoel

Thanks for your reply. 

I used g_clustsize and after it, I used g_rdf but it is not true, because the plot of g(r) for tails of surfactants relative to COM of micelle starts from 0 but it is not true!

Best Regards
Sara

you first have to define which surfactants belong together before g_rdf 
can do this - make an appropriate index file, maybe g_clustsize can help.
