Hi, if you want to calculate the MSD of several molecules, say nrmol, without using the -mol option, which I do not know is still broken, you can do this in three simple steps:
1. Convert your trajectory with trjconv and the option -pbc whole 2. Create an index file, that contains groups, which contain one molecule each, and remove the standard groups like System ... 3. run the analysis with: echo {0..nrmol} | g_msd -f convertedtrajecotry -n indexfile -ng nrmol This gives you the correct MSD for the center of mass for every molecule.

Thanks for this Vitaly and Justin. GeorgeThe resulting MSD will correspond to the average from individual atoms. Calculating MSD of an individual atom and ascribing it to a [small] molecule, which this atom belongs to, is reasonable. Assuming that averaged MSD from atoms correspond to the cluster they form is not.

If I include the atoms of all these 8 molecules as a single group in the index file, will g_msd calculate the MSD of the center of mass of them or it will average over all atoms?
