Thanks Peter for your suggestion but I am doing modal decomposition for the
DCD. So if I poceeed as you suggested I have to do also modal decomposition
for the velocity DCD file . I dont think that the modes of the velocity file
have the same physical meaning as the modes of the DCD file.
That is why I couldnt use it in the first place.
I may be mistaken. Correct me if I am.
Best,
Mert
