Dear Gromacs Users,

I am performing a MD simulation of a dimer in a dodecahedron box. The simulation stopped after 8 ns (power cut) and i had to restart to complete it fully to 12 ns.

I then concatenated the two trajectories using trjcat

trjconv -f promd.trr -s proem.tpr -pbc nojump -o nojump.xtc

trjconv -f nojump.xtc -s proem.tpr -pbc mol -ur compact -center -boxcenter tric -o center.xtc

trjconv -f center.xtc -s proem.tpr -fit rot+trans -o fit.xtc

1. The above procedures does not center the molecule in the box.

The last operation fits to a structure, permitting rotations and translations. If the target is not centered in its box...

2. The box seems to shift from one corner to the center. Especially for the duration 8-12 ns (my restart run)

I feel I am missing something here. Kindly advice.

It's a periodic box - a mathematical construction. The simulation doesn't care where the atoms go in relation to it. If you care, you can apply trjconv afterwards.
