Hi,

This is a common problem to long trajectory. It is fine as long as there is no 
real corruption in the trajectory file, caused by network, disk, etc.

Solution:
Shift a bit backward from the -b, this may be a few hundred ps or several ns, 
then extract the segment you would like to have from this secondary trajectory.

Subject: [gmx-users] Selecting part of the trajectory

Hi all,

I want get the snapshots every 5ps of the last 1ns in a 20 ns simulation. So I 
want to cut out the last 1ns. I was able to do that using -b and -e flags of 
trjconv, say -b 19000 and -e 20000 for a .trr trajectory. However, to save disk 
space I converted it into .xtc format and I cannot use trjconv with -b and -e 
flags anymore. I got error msg like:

Fatal error:
Specified frame doesn't exist or file not seekable

One more thing, my system consists of a protein and a ligand. At some 
snapshots, the ligand just jumps out of the box even when I used -pbc mol -ur 
compact. I tried with -pbc nojump and other option as well but none works 
perfectly in all cases. How to make sure that the ligand always stays with the 
protein so that I can write the script to automatically generate the snapshots 
and do some post-processing on them.

Thank you for any suggestion.

Regards,
Tri
