[gmx-users] Did -ndec stop working in 2016 releases?

[Caro Miguel]

Hello,


I am trying to extract trajectory data with more decimal places than the standard. I have been using gmx trjconv with the -ndec option to do this in the past. I am now using the 2016.3 release and the following command:


gmx trjconv -f md.trr -s md.tpr -o traj.gro -ndec 5


gives me a traj.gro file with only 3 decimal places, which is the default. I have also tested the 2016.1 release and I experience the same problem. Gromacs 5.1.4 behaves as expected.


Apparently trjconv understands -ndec since it's telling me "Setting output precision to 1e-05 (nm)", but the output .gro file is missing more decimal digits. Is this a (known) bug or should I be looking for problems with my installation?


Miguel
