[gmx-users] Difference between output_coordinates.gro and trajectory.xtc coordinates

Hi Mark, 
Thank you for your reply.

It is exactly the opposite though: for output_coordinates.gro which is the
output from:

 mdrun Š -c output_coordinates.gro

it seems like atoms are diffusing out of the box.

In the trajectory, I allow atoms to be seen to diffuse out of the box,
using -pbc nojump, and I don¹t see them diffuse out (They stay within the
unit cell, which is what I expect being a silica substrate at room
temperature over a very short period of time).

So what puzzles me is why for the output of (mdrun -c) the atoms seem to
diffuse out, specially so if I cannot see this in the trajectory.

Sorry if I didn¹t explain it very clearly last time.

Thanks!
