[gmx-users] Dimer simulation problem

[Kavyashree M]

Hello again,

I centered it and then did the calculation again for minimum image distance
but still it showed the same graph as without centering. I tried visualising
it
using vmd but could not see any such clashes. since I am new to vmd
I do not know whether it is possible to calculate such clashes if at all
in vmd? I am using dodecahedron box. can it be visualised as it is in vmd?

Thank you
With regards
Kavya
