Mhhh, as I sayed, I have noe clue abotu Fortran and it is a hard time reading
the code and editing it. I understand the above code the following way:
read(243) HDR,(ICNTRL(j),j=1,9),delta,(ICNTRL(j),j=11,20)
Read 4 Chars --> COOR
Read 1 int(4) 1--> # of configurations
Read 1 int(4) 2--> time step of first configuration
Read 1 int(4) 3--> frequency of configurations
Read 1 int(4) 4--> last time step in dcd file
Read 1 int(4) 5--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 6--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 7--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 8--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 9--> 0
Read 1 real(4)1--> timestep of simulation
Read 1 int(4) 11--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 12--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 13--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 14--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 15--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 16--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 17--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 18--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 19--> 0
Read 1 int(4) 20--> 0
READ 1 int(4) 1--> Length of title
READ 1 char(80) --> title
READ 1 int(4) --> Number of Atoms
Where is the PBC here?
This is, at least in my opinion, exactly what I am doing in my python script.
Except that I am not sure how to treat the "real" type i python. They types
available are listed here:
http://docs.python.org/library/struct.html#format-characters
Sorry to bug you with this, but it is frustrating without a proper
documentation and not being able to easily read Fortran.
Could anyone complement/correct the header structure:
HDR NSET ISTART NSAVC ILAST ZEROS5 DELTA ZEROS9
i4c i i i i 5i real 9i
After the DELTA my script breaks and I am not sure if it id because of a wrong
type or some other missing value.
