> I need to orientate cylinder-shaped polymers in order to simulate them with LAMMPS, and I was given data for their initial orientation and position from other experiments.
> I have the following information: the coordinate (r) centre and orientation vector (n) of long axis.
>
> chain one: r1_x; r1_y; r1_z; n1_x; n1_y; n1_z
> chain two: r2_x; r2_y; r2_z; n2_x; n2_y; n2_z
>
> chain 1: -0.8; -2.1; 0.5; -0.07; 0.8; 0.5
> chain 2: 2.6; 1.9; -2.2; -0.08; 0.9; 0.4
>
> I am confused as to how I can approach this problem using vmd.

> Thank you in advance for any input!
