Hi,

I looked through the RDF.tcl script and found the total ("bulk") density expresion as follows :

set density [expr [expr [$toatomlist num]/$volume ]*[$fromatomlist num]]

I was expecting the bulk density to be calculated as total partical number of particals under calculation of RDF devided be volume. If I would try calculate RDF for liquid I would count all particles in my system and would devide by volume to get bulk density for normalization.

Can anybody explain the density expresion in the RDF.tcl script ?

With best
Arturas
