Hi Peter,
Thank you very much. The code works and I get the output but then the
output is not in the format I expected. In my code I have to two nested
loops; one around the number of frames and the the other around the number
of sites in the protein. I need to;
for each frame (nframes),
for each site (nsites),
select the site atoms ($sel1)
select a particular water molecule at the site ($sel2)
calculate interaction potential energy
write the value to a file
I expected an output file of the format,
frame 0 site 0 energy
frame 0 site 1 energy
.
.
frame 0 site nsites-1 energy
frame 1 site 1 energy
.
.
frame nframes site nsites energy
But what I get is
{frame 0 site 0 energy} {frame 1 site 0 energy} ...........{frame nframes-1
site 0 energy}
.
.
{frame 0 site nsites-1 energy} {frame 1 site nsites-1
energy}........{{frame nframes-1 site nsites-1 energy} }
and this pattern multiplied by the number of frames loaded and those values
are identical to the first chunk of values.
So is it possible to limit namdenergy to calculate the energy only for the
given atomselections, only at a given frame? And I need to use a different
atom selection and a different frame at the next instance.
Thanks.
Monika
