Hi Anu, Since .xtc doesn't store velocities, its a much more compact trajectory than it's .trr counterpart, i.e. it has a smaller size. Also, .xtc is more easier on your computer RAM than the .trr file, during visualizing or analyzing using the .xtc trajectories. If you are looking to save disk

Hi Anu, Again that is up to you. I do not save a full precision file for my analysis. In the infinite disk space (and time!) limit of course you would like to have veolcities, forces, and positions of all atoms very frequently. However, if you do not foresee any analysis requiring velocities

Dear Gromcas users, I am planning to do microsecond long simulation of membrane-protein system and I have ~100,000 atoms in the systems. Since I am trying for microsecond long simulations and I have a quiet large system, it can generate large amount of data and in this regard I would like to

Hi Anu, 1) It really depends on what kind of analysis you are doing. If you are, for example, studying bio-molecular interactions that take place over microsecond long timescales then saving trajectories every 200-500 ps is advisable. I myself do receptor-membrane atomistic simulations with a
