Hello

With running gmx msd I am told in the output the y axis unit is nm/ S2/ N, which is unexpected. Is this simply an print error or is there an error within the calculation? I have provided a copy of the output below, noting the units of the self-diffusion coefficient are sensible. Any insight would be much appreciated.

The unit is correct. GROMACS does all distance calculations in terms of nm. You get an interpreted output of the MSD in traditional units for the diffusion constant.

The confusion maybe about the xmgrace formatting :)
nm^2 if you use the right software...
