Thanks Jérôme
                          I figured out how can i get the vector. Its in nmwiz output file.
Thanks

Now I want to extract out the vectors corresponding to some of the mode (for a group of atom) and use them for steered MD. How can I do that? also in the absence of any information about conformation change, is it reasonable to do steered MD in the direction of principal components?
